Description
Egypt, 1912. Amelia Peabody and her husband Radcliffe Emerson are in danger as they search for a priceless, stolen bust of legendary Queen Nefertiti. A man with a knife protruding from his back stumbles into Amelia's hotel suite, uttering a single word - 'Murder' - before collapsing on the floor. It soon becomes apparent that someone has saved Amelia from an assassin, and the only explanation is that brilliant master of disguise Sethos is watching over her. This excavation season will prove to be unforgettable for Amelia, as a brilliant criminal offers his final challenge. A thrilling tale of mystery and suspense, 'The Painted Queen' combines elements of classic detective fiction with early feminist themes, making it a compelling read for fans of Indiana Jones-style adventures.
