A Clarissa Bell Mystery · Book 1

Step into 1920s Egypt

Dr. Clarissa Bell has waited her whole career for her first real dig, in the shadow of the Great Pyramid, and every man on the team expects her to fail. Then a colleague turns up dead, a priceless artifact vanishes, and the only person who believes her is Benedict Quinn: a charming antiquities dealer she'd be wise not to trust.

Witty, clean, and full of deserts and digsites. The first mystery in a series that readers are calling “a worthy successor to Amelia Peabody.”

★★★★★“Years ago I read all of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody mysteries… my wait has ended with the fabulous Clarissa Bell Mysteries.”— John A., Amazon reviewer
★★★★★“Clarissa's inner monologue had me laughing out loud… they play off each other with sharp wit and genuine chemistry. … keeping me turning pages late into the night.”— Carol W., Amazon reviewer
