British-style mystery in historical settings just doesn't get any better than that of Grand Dame Elizabeth Peters and her spicy sleuthing Egyptologist Amelia Peabody. Peters's latest, The Falcon at the Portal, begins when Amelia and her family arrive in Egypt for their annual archaeological excursion. Trouble erupts, however, when a Peabody relative is accused of selling really expensive, and really fake, Egyptian artifacts. Now it's up to Amelia to clear his good name and find the real culprit. Can she do it?
