The Hippopotamus Pool
Barbara Mertz
 Amelia and Emerson are in Cairo to greet the 20th century, when a mysterious Mr. Shelmadine presents them with a gold ring from a unknown tombe bearing the cartouche of Queen Tetisheri. The same Shelmadine then goes in a fit that spell out a new case for Amelia. Not even this time will Amelia's archeological season be left alone by criminals and tomb robbers. Only this time she's up against two unknown parties, one to save, one to avenge. This book also introduces David Todros, Ramses's lifelong friend and partner in crime. Evelyn and Walter Emerson come back to the land of the pharaohs for the first time since their romance in the ruins of the heretical pharaoh's city, Amarna.
