This book is based on the "lost files" of Amelia Peabody's diaries. The Emerson family has been contacted by a prince from the Holy Mountain that their presence is required. Their friend, the king Tarek, has been ill and he needs their help. The family embarks on a dangerous journey across the desert. The Holy Mountain is the place where they rescued Nefrette nearly ten years ago. She is eager to help her people in any way she can and the Emersons feel duty bound to help and keep Nefrette safe. As usual, none of their adventures are easy and when they get to the Holy Mountain, nothing is as it was supposed to be. Once again, it takes the combined wits of the Emerson family to overcome the forces of evil.
This book was somewhat out of order from the last several installments. It was odd to go back to the days before Ramses and Nefrette were married. The story, as usual, was chaotic and crazy with Amelia her usual know-it-all self, leading the charge. At least she thinks she is. Once again, we hear part of the "real" story from Ramses point of view and that is lots of fun, too.
Rating - 4.5 stars
