Night Train To Memphis
Elizabeth Peters
This novel, which features art historian, Vicky Bliss, takes Vicky
to modern Egypt. Learning of a plot to rob the treasure-filled
Cairo Museum, Vicky is persuaded--against her better
judgement--to join a Nile cruise. She wants to prevent the theft
and identify the thief. It is wily Sir John, a master of
disguise, who has been her most dangerous antagonist and her
occasional lover. Accompanied by her eccentric boss, she sets
out on a wild chase down the Nile to save the museum.
