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.
