He Shall Thunder in the Sky: An Amelia Peabody
Mystery
Elizabeth Peters
The clouds of WWI hang heavily over Cairo, as Amelia Peabody and her
family return to Egypt for another season of archaeological excavation.
The defiantly pacifist stance of their headstrong son, Ramses, is
earning
the young man the derision (and worse) of the ex-patriate community.
Meanwhile the charismatic nationalist el Wardani is said to be fomenting
insurrection in the ancient city. And an exquisite sculpture found where
it ought not to be confirms Amelia's most unsettling suspicion about the
re-emergence of her villainous arch nemesis, Sethos, the master
criminal.
