Four classic stories by the New York Times bestselling “grandmaster” of mystery, each paired with an incisive new introduction (Publishers Weekly). A thriller writer is embroiled in a real-life whodunit when a friend drops dead with her hatpin impaled in his back. The violation of a sealed West Bank tomb, its rock walls intact, provides a Thebes investigator with a mystifying conundrum. Two sisters take shelter in a shuttered old house at the end of a country road…only to discover they’re not alone. And the author’s most beloved characters, Amelia Peabody and Radcliff Emerson, make an appearance in a newly uncovered tale with a witty nod to Sherlock Holmes. The Locked Tomb Mystery presents an unforgettable quartet of short mysteries from one of the genre’s greatest practitioners. An expanded edition of Peters’s Mystery Stories, this volume includes the never-before-collected story, “Vengeance of Sekhmet”—along with a new preface by Barbara G. Mertz and new introductions to each story by mystery authors Tasha Alexander, Juliet Blackwell, and Daniel Stashower, and Egyptologist Salima Ikram.
