The Amelia Peabody Series
Elizabeth Peters: Three Complete Mysteries

In Victorian England a woman wasn't supposed to be an archaeologist or a detective. Amelia Peabody is both. This thirty-one-year-old gentlewoman has inherited both her father's fortune and his strong will. She also seems to find murder at every turn.

Here in one volume are three Amelia Peabody mysteries by the incomparable Elizabeth Peters. In Crocodile on the Sandbank, Amelia, on her way to Cairo to indulge her passion for Egyptology, meets Evelyn Barton-Forbes and the two women become traveling companions. Evelyn has a tarnished past but both she and Amelia believe that it won't come back to haunt her. That belief is shattered when Evelyn is attacked by a very live, very deadly, mummy. 

Amelia enlists the aid of prominent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson to help unravel the plot against her friend, but with the threat of an ancient curse closing in, Amelia must resort to outrageous methods to keep the mummy from making corpses of them all.

The Curse of the Pharaohs finds Amelia and Radcliffe called back to Egypt by Lady Baskerville to complete the excavation of a recently discovered tomb. The dig has been left unfinished by her recently dead and possibly murdered husband. As the excavation proceeds, more and more of the native workers die in inexplicable accidents, but as they race to discover the truth, Amelia and Radcliffe find Lady Baskerville more concerned wit the contents of the tomb than with catching her husband's killer.

It was relatively insignificant mummy case. Amelia and Radcliffe first saw it propped up against a grand piano like some parlor ornament. No one suspected the mystery behind the facade. But once again Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson are embarked on an archaeological dig in Egypt, and once again they unearth a mystery as intriguing as the ancient tomb, but far more dangerous, and pit themselves against a band of murderers to unlock the secret behind The Mummy Case.
