Sinossi

In "Sight Unseen," Mary Roberts Rinehart weaves an intricate tale that straddles the genres of mystery and psychological thriller, hallmark characteristics of early 20th-century detective fiction. The narrative follows the protagonist, a perceptive yet disoriented heroine navigating through themes of isolation, fear, and uncovering hidden truths amidst a backdrop of a shadowy mansion. Rinehart's deft use of vivid imagery and suspenseful dialogue draws readers into an atmospheric experience, highlighting her unique ability to build tension and intrigue, reflecting the literary context of her time, where the detective genre was evolving into more complex psychological realms. Mary Roberts Rinehart, often heralded as the 'American Agatha Christie,' embraced her knack for storytelling from a young age, influenced by her rich background in journalism and theater. Rinehart's personal experiences, including her time spent in the bustling surroundings of World War I and her subsequent challenges in life, enriched her storytelling, enabling her to create formidable female characters and explorations of the human psyche that resonate deeply with readers. "Sight Unseen" is a compelling read for anyone who appreciates finely crafted narratives that explore both the depths of fear and the resilience of the human spirit. Rinehart's masterful blend of suspense and intricate character development makes this novel an essential addition to the library of mystery enthusiasts and a profound commentary on human vulnerability.

    In New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters's eagerly anticipated Amelia Peabody adventure, the Emerson clan is a hairsbreadth away from unearthing the legendary site they've been searching for. But a sinister plot and a dark family secret stand in the way of their ultimate ambition -- and threaten to change things forever. . . . 
    Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson and his wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall. Emerson has tried desperately to persuade Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter to relinquish their digging rights. But Emerson's trickery has backfired, and his insistent interest in the site has made his rivals all the more determined to keep the Emerson clan away. 
    The family returns to Luxor and watches from the sidelines as Carter and Carnarvon ""discover"" King Tut's tomb. But before their own excavation can get underway, Emerson and his son, Ramses, find themselves lured into a trap by a strange group of villains demanding ""Where is he?"" The Emersons embark on a quest to uncover who ""he"" is and why ""he"" must be found, only to discover the answer is uncomfortably close to home. Now Amelia must find a way to protect her family -- and perhaps even her would-be nemesis -- from the forces that will stop at nothing to succeed in the nefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region. 
    Filled with heart-stopping suspense, and Amelia Peabody's trademark wit and wisdom, Tomb of the Golden Bird is the latest thrilling installment from the beloved ""Grand Dame of historical mystery"" (Washington Post).
