On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run by the Emerson brothers-the irascible but dashing Radcliffe and the amiable Walter. Soon their little party is increased by one-one mummy that is, and a singularly lively example of the species.\n\nStrange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy-and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last . . .\n\nPraise for Elizabeth Peters and Crocodile on the Sandbank\n\"A writer so popular that the public library has to keep her books under lock and key.\" -Washington Post Book World\n\n\"Grand views of Egyptian antiquities . . . a sparkling series.\" -Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953517588533,"sku":"ByrdShop_0445406518","price":27.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780445406513_cebd8535-6415-4ed5-ac5f-54c0d6bd308c.jpg?v=1781153890","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/crocodile-on-the-sandbank-9780445406513","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
