About the Book

New York Times Bestseller From New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters comes another riveting mystery in her phenomenally popular Amelia Peabody series. The Land of the Pharaohs harbors more secrets than any tomb can hide. In Egypt for the 1911 archaeological season, Amelia Peabody and her family are not anticipating trouble, but it finds them nonetheless. Their young friend David is accused of selling ancient artifacts, and it's up to the Emersons to expose the real culprit. But the body of an American discovered at the bottom of their excavation shaft and a child of mysterious antecedents are sparking twin crises that threaten to tear the family apart. Amelia brings her estimable powers of deduction to bear, but she might not survive long enough to unravel more than one perplexing puzzle--because suddenly someone is shooting bullets in her direction...and coming too close for comfort! "Amelia is rather like Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple all rolled into one."--Washington Post Book World

About the Author :
Elizabeth Peters earned her Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicago's famed Oriental Institute. During her fifty-year career, she wrote more than seventy novels and three nonfiction books on Egypt. She received numerous writing awards and, in 2012, was given the first Amelia Peabody Award, created in her honor. She died in 2013, leaving a partially completed manuscript of The Painted Queen.

Review :
"Peters draws all the elements together with trademark wit and a new note of poignancy...raise a toast to the incomparable Amelia Peabody." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "[A] jewel of a series." - New York Times Book Review Praise for The Falcon at the Portal: "Such a treasure that I may just have to excavate my way back through the entire Peabody oeuvre." - Washington Post Praise for Elizabeth Peters: "Peters's wily cast of characters keeps the reader coming back for more." - San Francisco Chronicle "Amelia Peabody, the bossy archaeologist in Elizabeth Peters's romantic adventures set in Egypt at the end of the last century, makes a perfect companion for a cruise up the Nile." - New York Times
