Crocodile on the sandbank [bk. 1] : an Amelia Peabody mystery

Amelia Peabody is Elizabeth Peters' most brilliant and best-loved creation, a thoroughly Victorian feminist who takes the stuffy world of archaeology by storm with her shocking men's pants and no-nonsense attitude! In this first adventure, our headstrong heroine decides to use her substantial inheritance to see the world. On her travels, she rescues a gentlewoman in distress - Evelyn Barton-Forbes - and the two become friends. The two companions continue to Egypt where they face mysteries, mummies and the redoubtable Radcliffe Emerson, an outspoken archaeologist, who doesn't need women to help him solve mysteries -- at least that's what he thinks! ** Has Cover : Yes Calc Series A (group): Amelia Peabody Number of Words in Auth: 2 Formats : EPUB ABook : E_Only Calc Force Series : .Amelia Peabody Title First Parm : Crocodile on the Sandbank Calc ESI Part 3 : 19 Calc ESI Part 2 : of Calc ESI Part 1 : 01 Test Search : Crocodile on the Sandbank / Elizabeth Peters Enter Series Index : 01 of 19 Record Notes : Perm IE IC 09 01 14 Calc Series Group : Amelia Peabody Title Post Pound : Crocodile on the Sandbank Words in Author Name: 2 Series Genre : Amelia Peabody Previous Series Index: 1 Test Text Series Index: 1 Raw Title : Crocodile on the Sandbank Title Length : 25 Title Parm A : Crocodile on the Sandbank Record ID : 2504 Enter New Series (Calced): Serified_E.Amelia Peabody.Cmd.01 of 19._.ICBF Author Parm Cn : Peters Calc Genre : Amelia Peabody Calc New Series : Amelia Peabody....
