Art historian Vicky Bliss goes to Bavaria searching for the missing gold of Troy. Soon her treasure hunt turns into a more deadly game.

The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Emerson, and precocious son, Ramses, re in dire straits on the sun-scorched desert sands. Months before, in England, they agreed to try and find Viscount Blacktower's son and daughter-in-law who were lost in war-torn Sudan 10 years ago. Amelia and Emerson didn't believe that the message was authentic, but the treasure map was an iresistible temptation.

A monumental volume of Egyptian culture, history, and arcania, to help readers immerse themselves in Amelia Peabody's world more completely than ever before.
