The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters
The irascible husband of Victorian Egyptologist Amelia Peabody is living up to his reputation as The Father of Curses. Denied permission to dig at the Pyramids of Dahshoor Emerson is awarded instead the Pyramids of Mazghunah. Nothing in this barren spot seems of any interest but then a murder in Cairo changes all of that.
