Crime & Suspense

From a New York Times bestselling author, a Victorian-era thriller featuring Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, a self-proclaimed spinster and heiress who's unrattled by anyone–including mummies.

The unshakeable Amelia Peabody embarks on an Egyptian adventure armed with self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course–a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run a pair of handsome brothers.

Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy–and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last...

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Performed by Nanette Savard, Michael Glenn, Jenna Sharpe, Nathaniel Priestley, Stewart Crank, Keval Shah, Elias Khalil, Peter Holdway, Christopher Davenport, Colleen Delany, Niusha Nawab, Scott McCormick, Christopher Williams, Shravan Amin, Nora Achrati, Terence Aselford, Yasmin Tuazon, Jeri Marshall and Crystal Judkins.
