Amelia receives a rather large inheritance and decides to use it for travel. On her way through Rome to Egypt, she meets Evelyn Barton-Forbes, a young woman abandoned by her lover and left with no means of support. Amelia promptly takes Evelyn under her wing, insisting that the young lady accompany her to Egypt, where Amelia plans to indulge her passion for Egyptology. When Evelyn becomes the target of an aborted kidnapping and the focus of a series of suspicious accidents and mysterious visitations, Amelia becomes convinced of a plot to harm her young friend. Like any self-respecting sleuth, Amelia sets out to discover who is behind it all. 2570338 book 1975 Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody, #1) total:3049|5:1073|4:1258|3:593|2:100|1:25| 3049 12401 3921 532 5 6 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 24 22:44:06 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 31 16:02:12 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 5 false false Tue Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 19:42:31 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 13:43:13 -0700 2009 1 THC Reviews
