Отправившись в очередную экспедицию за древностями, Амелия сталкивается с самым настоящим убийством. Убит известный богач, посмевший проникнуть в пирамиду самого фараона.

Для кого-то Египет - это курорты и ласковое море, для других - пирамиды и прочие древности, а для Амелии Пибоди - это страна, полная тайн, приключений и загадочных преступлений, которые без ее вмешательства так и останутся нераскрытыми. Помимо природного любопытства к частному сыску Амелию побуждает и чисто спортивный интерес: у нее появился достойный соперник - на пути ее встал хитрый и пронырливый Гений Преступлений, неуловимый тип, который промышляет кражей древнеегипетских сокровищ.

Египет полон загадок, как древних, так и вполне современных. И если человек питает здоровый интерес к приключениям, эта страна для него сущий клад. Амелия Пибоди не просто обожает загадки, она одержима любопытством, которое порой заводит ее слишком далеко. Древние сокровища Египта как магнитом притягивают мошенников всех мастей, и сыщице-любительнице есть где развернуться.

Загадочный русский и юная красавица, странный бродяга в арабском бурнусе, но с рыжими английскими вихрами кружат вокруг Амелии, словно приглашая ее включиться в детективный хоровод, но она твердо намерена посвятить этот археологический сезон любимой науке. Но тут – о удача! – похищают ее единственное дитя, ребенка с энциклопедическими знаниями обо всем на свете, и Амелия бросается навстречу опасностям.

Юный Рамсес давно уже в безопасности, давно уже изводит родителей нотациями и научными лекциями, но Амелию не остановить. Пока все тайны не будут раскрыты, пока убийца не понесет заслуженного наказания, не видать ей покоя. И к тому же надо ведь посрамить наконец зловредного Гения Преступлений, который нагло посмеивается над сыщицей.

Кто бы мог подумать, что в угрюмом и чопорном Лондоне, с его сыростью, туманами и светскими чаепитиями, могут разгореться такие нешуточные страсти! Столица Британии ошеломлена и испугана: по улицам разгуливает странное существо, в наряде древнеегипетского жреца и леопардовой накидке. И ладно бы просто разгуливало, так нет же — там, где появляется пришелец из древних времен, немедленно кто-то умирает, да еще насильственной смертью.
Амелия Пибоди, разумеется, не в силах пройти мимо таких загадочных событий. Вооружившись своим неизменным оружием — зонтиком, отбиваясь от своего любознательного и энергичного чада и скармливая любимому супругу небылицу за небылицей, она начинает расследование. Мало того, что в ходе расследования она вынуждена посещать самые непотребные лондонские трущобы и вертепы, так еще таинственный жрец открывает на нее охоту. И если бы не поддержка ненаглядного Эмерсона и проницательность малолетнего Рамсеса, не унести ей ноги...

Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson, along with their son Ramses and foster daughter Nefret, are summoned back to the Lost Oasis, a hidden stronghold in the western desert whose existence they discovered many years ago (in The Last Camel Died At Noon) and have kept secret from the entire world, including their fellow Egyptologists. According to Merasen, the brother of the ruling monarch, their old friend Prince Tarek is in grave danger and needs their help, however it's not until they retrace their steps back to the Oasis, with its strange mixture of Meroitic and Egyptian cultures, that they learn the real reason for their journey. There's no better company on an archaeological expedition than the Father of Curses and the Lady Doctor, their beautiful Anglo-Egyptian ward, and Ramses, the Demon Brother who loves her, as Peters once again demonstrates in the latest historical mystery in this immensely popular series.

The woman who implores the renowned family of archaeologists and adventurers to accept the cursed statue insists the ill-gotten treasure has already killed her husband. Further, she warns, unless it is returned to the tomb from which it was stolen, more will surely die. With the world finally at peace—and with Egypt's ancient mysteries opened to them once more—Amelia Peabody and her loved ones are plunged into a storm of secrets, treachery, and murder by a widow's strange story and even stranger request. Each step toward the truth reveals a new peril, suggesting this curse is no mere superstition. And the next victim of the small golden king could be any member of the close-knit clan—perhaps even Amelia herself.

Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson and his intrepid wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall. Having been banned forever from the East Valley, Emerson, against Amelia's advice, has tried desperately to persuade Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter to relinquish their digging rights. But Emerson's trickery has backfired, and his insistent interest in the site has made his rivals all the more determined to keep the Emerson clan away.

Powerless to intervene but determined to stay close to the unattainable tomb, the family returns to Luxor and prepares to continue their dig in the less promising West Valley—and to watch from the sidelines as Carter and Carnarvon "discover" the greatest Egyptian treasure of all time: King Tut's tomb. But before their own excavation can get underway, Emerson and his son, Ramses, find themselves lured into a trap by a strange group of villains ominously demanding "Where is he?" Driven by distress—and, of course, Amelia's insatiable curiosity—the Emersons embark on a quest to uncover who "he" is and why "he" must be found, only to discover that the answer is uncomfortably close to home. Now Amelia must find a way to protect her family—and perhaps even her would-be nemesis—from the sinister forces that will stop at nothing to succeed in the nefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region.

Filled with heart-stopping suspense, political intrigue, and Amelia Peabody's trademark wit and wisdom, Tomb of the Golden Bird is the latest thrilling installment from the renowned and beloved "grande dame of historical mystery" (Washington Post).

From New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters comes one of her most baffling and intriguing mysteries in her phenomenally popular Amelia Peabody series.

August 1910. Banned from the Valley of the Kings, Amelia Peabody and husband Emerson are persuaded to follow would-be archaeologist Major George Morley on an expedition to Palestine. Somewhere in this province of the corrupt, crumbling Ottoman Empire—the Holy Land of three religions—Morley is determined to unearth the legendary Ark of the Covenant.

At the request of British Intelligence, Emerson will be keeping an eye on the seemingly inept Morley, believed to be an agent of the Kaiser sent to stir up trouble in this politically volatile land. Amelia hopes to prevent a catastrophically unprofessional excavation from destroying priceless historical finds and sparking an armed protest by infuriated Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Meanwhile, Amelia's headstrong son, Ramses, working on a dig at Samaria, encounters an unusual party of travelers and makes a startling discovery—information that he must pass along to his parents in Jerusalem...if he can get there alive.

Egypt, 1912—Amelia Peabody and her dashing archeologist husband, Radcliffe Emerson, are once again in danger as they search for a priceless, stolen bust of legendary Queen Nefertiti and Amelia finds herself the target of assassins in this long-awaited, eagerly anticipated final installment of Elizabeth Peters’ bestselling, beloved mystery series.

Arriving in Cairo for another thrilling excavation season, Amelia is relaxing in a well-earned bubble bath in her elegant hotel suite in Cairo, when a man with knife protruding from his back staggers into the bath chamber and utters a single word—"Murder"—before collapsing on the tiled floor, dead. Among the few possessions he carried was a sheet of paper with Amelia’s name and room number, and a curious piece of pasteboard the size of a calling card bearing one word: "Judas." Most peculiarly, the stranger was wearing a gold-rimmed monocle in his left eye.

It quickly becomes apparent that someone saved Amelia from a would-be assassin—someone who is keeping a careful eye on the intrepid Englishwoman. Discovering a terse note clearly meant for Emerson—Where were you?"—pushed under their door, there can be only one answer: the brilliant master of disguise, Sethos.

But neither assassins nor the Genius of Crime will deter Amelia as she and Emerson head to the excavation site at Amarna, where they will witness the discovery of one of the most precious Egyptian artifacts: the iconic Nefertiti bust. In 1345 B.C. the sculptor Thutmose crafted the piece in tribute to the great beauty of this queen who was also the chief consort of Pharaoh Akhenaten and stepmother to King Tutankhamun.

For Amelia, this excavation season will prove to be unforgettable. Throughout her journey, a parade of men in monocles will die under suspicious circumstances, fascinating new relics will be unearthed, a diabolical mystery will be solved, and a brilliant criminal will offer his final challenge... and perhaps be unmasked at last.
