The Golden One

I loved this book written by Elizabeth Peters. In 1917, Amelia Peabody, her husband, and son, arrive at their home in Luxor. They learn of a new tomb that is being ransacked by thieves. Ramses is called back to military service and he is sent to investigate whether an English spy is helping the Turks. He is captured by a Turkish agent who says he will let him go if he converts to Islam and marries his daughter. After the adventure, Nefret announces that she has something to tell.

This is the 14th novel in the series. The title refers to Hathor, an Ancient Egyptian goddess known for feminine love, motherhood, and joy.
