Tomb of the Golden Bird
Book 18 of the Amelia Peabody series
In the 1922 season, Emerson watches with envy as Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon close in on the intact tomb of Tutankhamun. The historic discovery attracts reporters, thieves, and political opportunists while a coded message points the Emerson family toward a separate conspiracy. Ramses, Nefret, Sethos, and the growing younger generation all contribute as archaeological rivalry intersects with threats beyond the Valley of the Kings. Richly historical and celebratory, this chronological finale suits series readers who enjoy real discoveries woven into fiction, sprawling families, Egyptian politics, and beloved sleuths confronting the end of an era.
