It is 1914 and Amelia Peabody and her husband Emerson areback in Egypt for another season of archaeological excavation. But this year anew menace hangs over the dig: rumblings of war abound in Europe while over inthe East, Turkish and German forces are massing for an attack on the SuezCanal. There are problems closer to home too: their son Rameses,passionately opposed to the war, is collecting white feathers and challengesfrom the British community of Cairo, their beautiful ward Nefret seems to havebecome involved with Amelia's detested nephew Percy, while David, the youngEgyptian married to their niece Lia, has been interned because of hisnationalist sympathies. Even Amelia finds it difficult to concentrate onpyramids when her children are in trouble and Cairo teems with enemy agents,including her old nemesis. Can Amelia unmask the Master Criminal and prevent abloody uprising in Cairo, rescue Nefret from the attentions of her nephew,defend her son against unknown enemies and prevent Emerson from dashing off tofight in the looming war? If anyone can it's Amelia - but this time she isgoing to need all the help that she can get; and some of it from a completelyunexpected source.
