Publisher's Summary

An assistant curator of Munich's National Museum, Vicky Bliss is no expert on Egypt, but she does have a Ph.D. in solving crimes. So when an intelligence agency offers her a luxury Nile cruise if she'll help solve a murder and stop a heist of Egyptian antiquities, all 5'11" of her takes the plunge.

Vicky suspects the authorities really want her to lead them to her missing lover, the art thief and master of disguises she knows only as "Sir John Smythe". And right in the shadow of the Sphinx she spots him...with his new flame. Vicky is so furious at this romantic stab-in-the-back, not to mention the sudden arrival of her meddling boss, Herr Dr. Schmidt, that she may overlook a danger as old as the pharaohs and as unchanging, a criminal who hides behind a mask of charm while moving in for the kill.

What the critics say

"A clever plot combined with an exotic setting, well-crafted writing, wryly funny humor, interesting factoids about Egyptian antiquities, and lively, attractive heroine Vicky Bliss, who can hold her own against the meanest meanies." (Booklist)

An old favourite

This is my favourite entry in the Vikky Bliss series. I read the book years ago and I was very happy to find it here again on Audible.

There should be a Vicky Bliss TV show//movie

I’ve read Elizabeth peters Peabody novels and love them this is my first experience with her Vicki bliss character - A great mixture of exotics locations and characters Who you feel you could sit down and have a drink with along With enjoyable exciting diversions that push the story along but don’t get you too stressed out whether they are going to live or die - My favourite kind of relaxation
