Sir Henry is striving to ensure no tomb has been overlooked by the previous expedition. Scarcely have the men started working when their spades uncover a series of steps cut into the rock. Then Sir Henry is found stiff and stark in his bed -- on his high brow, inscribed in what appears to be dried blood, is a crudely drawn uraeus serpent, the symbol of the divine pharoah. Instead of digging up the treasures of a lost age, it appears that Amelia and her friend are excavating a deadly curse. 882042 book 1981 The Curse of the Pharaohs (Amelia Peabody, #2) total:1962|5:554|4:876|3:474|2:49|1:9| 1962 7803 2399 94 4 0 false false Sun Nov 15 19:33:39 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 19:36:28 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 15:48:04 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 16:38:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 21 18:10:49 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 10:21:18 -0700 2009 Crocodile on the Sandbank.
