Synopsis

Amelia Peabody and her family return to Victorian London only to find a corpse in the British Museum's Egyptian wing. While the tabloids scream about an ancient mummy's curse, Amelia suspects a much more human hand is at work. She must navigate a swarm of aggressive reporters and a series of strange threats to catch the killer before she becomes the next exhibit.
