Amelia and Emerson had resolved that they would not return to the digs in Egypt until their son, Ramses was older, however, when a strange death occurs, Lady Baskerville begs them to return to dig and continue her husband's work.

While continuing the excavation, Amelia and Emerson solve the murders that have been blamed on the Pharaoh's curse.  Light and fun.
