The 1895-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Amelia Peabody and her husband and their 8 year old son. Thr much coveted burial chamber of the Black Pyramid in Dahshoor is theirs for the digging. But there is a great evil in the wind that roils the hot sand sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo. The brazen moonlit abduction of Ramses - and an expedition subsequently cursed by misfortune and death- have alerted Amelia to the likely presence of her arch nemesis the Master Criminal, notorious looter of the living and the dead. But it is far more than ill-gotten riches that motivates the evil genius this time around. For now the most valuable and elusive prize of all is nearly in his grasp: the meddling Lady archaeologist who has sworn to deliver him to justice ...Amelia Peabody!
