Publisher's summary

Four classic stories by the New York Times bestselling grandmaster of mystery, each paired with an incisive new introduction.

A thriller writer is embroiled in a real-life whodunit when a friend drops dead with her hatpin impaled in his back. The violation of a sealed West Bank tomb, its rock walls intact, provides a Thebes investigator with a mystifying conundrum. Two sisters take shelter in a shuttered old house at the end of a country road . . . only to discover they're not alone. And the author's most beloved characters, Amelia Peabody and Radcliff Emerson, make an appearance in a newly uncovered tale with a witty nod to Sherlock Holmes.

Settle in with this quartet of short stories—now available for the first time in a single volume—from one of the most popular mystery writers of all time. The Locked Tomb Mystery and Other Stories features a preface and introductions to each story by mystery authors Tasha Alexander, Juliet Blackwell, and Daniel Stashower, and Egyptologist Salima Ikram.

Do Not Be Fooled! This is not by Elizabeth Peters

This was so disappointing I have not finished it and probably won't. This is rare for me. Since it was listed as by Elizabeth Peters, I bought it thinking it was a group of short stories by Elizabeth Peters. It isn't. It is a group of short stories by other authors - one of which is supposedly about the Amelia Peabody and Emerson but not up to Elizabeth Peters' standard. Before each story there is a too long (in my opinion) and rambling introduction which for me was more annoying than entertaining. I would return this book but since I bought it for cash rather than a credit it is not eligible for return. Proceed with caution.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
