Now, deep in Nubia's vast wasteland, they discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback). Neither Amelia nor Emerson believes the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistible temptation. An enigmatic message scrawled on papyrus and a cryptic map had been delivered to Blacktower, awakening his hope that the couple was still alive. Months before, back in cook, green England, Viscount Blacktower had approached them to find his son and his son's new bride, who have been missing in war-torn Sudan for over a decade.
The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Emerson, and precocious son,Ramses, are in dire straits on the sun-scorched desert sands. Elizabeth Peters: The Last Camel Died at Noon
