| Khepri by R. L. McNulty |
The Ba spirit of a long-dead pharaoh of Egypt seeks the detectives' help to retrieve an ancient amulet stolen from his tomb. The detectives travel back in time to investigate the theft, which took place in the 19th year of Ramses IX. The clues reveal a struggle between two powerful politicians. Before this case is over, the detectives find themselves on a journey into the Egyptian underworld, in search of the court of Anubis.
This case is based on ancient records of a court case about a tomb robbery. The robbery and the court case are real, but Dragon's Eye adds a little magic to the story! Our projects this week will include Egyptian amulets, hieroglyphs and ushabti (miniature statues placed in tombs--ours will be truly small).
