Description

This collection of four short mysteries showcases Elizabeth Peters's skill as a master of the genre. A real-life whodunit unfolds when a friend is found dead with a hatpin impaled in his back, while a sealed West Bank tomb provides an investigator with a mystifying conundrum.

Two women take shelter in a shuttered old house at the end of a country road, only to discover they're not alone. In another tale, beloved characters from Peters's previous works make an appearance in a newly uncovered story with a witty nod to Sherlock Holmes.

This expanded edition includes the never-before-collected story "Vengeance of Sekhmet", along with new introductions to each story by mystery authors and Egyptologist Salima Ikram. a worthwhile read for fans of the genre, this collection presents an unforgettable quartet of short mysteries from one of its greatest practitioners.
