Description:
Amelia Peabody, that indomitable product of the Victorian age, embarks
on her first Egyptian adventure armed with unshakable self-confidence, a
journal to record her thoughts, and, of course, a sturdy umbrella. On her way,
Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been "e;ruined"e; and
abandoned on the streets of Rome by her rascally lover. With a typical
disregard for convention, Amelia promptly hires her fellow countrywoman
as a companion and takes her to Cairo.
Eluding Evelyn's former lover, who wants her back, and Evelyn's cousin Lord
Ellesmere, who wishes to marry her, the two women sail up the Nile to an
archaeological site that is home to a rather lively mummy. Soon strange
visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia
that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn.
