In Amelia's seventh adventure, she and Emerson take passage on a boat traveling up the Nile, enjoying a second honeymoon while they search for Nefertiti's tomb. On the other hand, they might be heading toward murder. An exotic slave woman, a Siamese cat, and a den of conspirators unite to snatch away Amelia's happiness unless she reveals a certain secret... and, at the remote dig in Amarna, what she uncovers is a shocking present-day peril: the loss of treasures far more precious than any antiquity — her husband's love, or both their lives!
