Thunder in the sky
Peters, Elizabeth, 1927-20132000
Book
"With World War I thankfully ended, Amelia and Emerson Peabody can return to Egypt to continue their archaeological work, but a nationalist has begun to stir up trouble in the town where they are working, and Amelia's nemesis, Sethos, has apparently re-emerged. There are problems closer to home too: their son Rameses, passionately opposed to the war, is collecting white feathers and challenges from the British community of Cairo, their beautiful ward Nefret seems to have become involved with Amelia's detested nephew Percy, while David, the young Egyptian married to their niece Lia, has been interned because of his nationalist sympathies. Even Amelia finds it difficult to concentrate on pyramids when her children are in trouble and Cairo teems with enemy agents, including her old nemesis. Can Amelia unmask the Master Criminal and prevent a bloody uprising in Cairo, rescue Nefret from the attentions of her nephew, defend her son against unknown enemies and prevent Emerson from dashing off to fight in the looming war? If anyone can it's Amelia - but this time she is going to need all the help that she can get; and some of it from a completely unexpected source." -- Provided by publisher.
