Radcliffe Emerson, known as the "Father of Curses," and his wife, archaeologist Amelia Peabody, find themselves stuck excavating rubble in Mazghunah after being denied access to the Dahshoor pyramids. Their situation takes a turn when Amelia visits an antiquities dealer for papyri for her brother-in-law, Walter, and overhears a suspicious conversation. Alarmingly, the dealer refuses to sell a scrap of papyrus that Ramses discovers, and shortly after, he is found dead. Amelia suspects foul play, especially when she spots a sinister stranger from the crime scene at her excavation site. Emerson is initially skeptical of her instincts, but when Ramses's papyrus goes missing and a neighboring tourist's mummy is stolen, he begins to believe they are facing more than just grave robbers. Joined by Ramses and his clever cat, Bastet, the Emersons investigate a cast of characters, including missionaries and a baroness, as they search for answers. However, their quest leads them to an ancient tomb, where the stakes grow higher, revealing modern dangers intertwined with their archaeological pursuits. This thrilling tale is rich in suspense and historical detail, showcasing Amelia's sharp wit and determination.
