The Last Camel Died at Noon

The Last Camel Died at Noon is by Elizabeth Peters. The sixth book in the Amelia Peabody series. The Emerson's have been asked to look for a missing Viscount's son and daughter-in-law who disappeared in the Sudan ten years earlier. Neither believe the cryptic message, but the treasure map is irresistible. They soon find themselves captured by soldiers from a hidden city straight out of an H. Rider Haggard novel. Can they escape with their lives or will they be sacrificed to the ancient Egyptian gods they have researched for so long? Exciting, action-packed, and filled with typical Peabody humor a book all Amelia lovers will thoroughly enjoy.

Ratings: 8th grade - 10 out of 10 - MP (mild profanity) - AC (some mature thematic content).
