Four classic stories by the New York Times-bestselling grandmaster of mystery, each paired with an incisive new introduction.

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.

Settle in with this quartet of short stories--now available for the first time in a single volume--from one of the most popular mystery writers of all time. The Locked Tomb Mystery and Other Stories features a preface and introductions to each story by mystery authors Tasha Alexander, Juliet Blackwell, and Daniel Stashower, and Egyptologist Salima Ikram.

Elizabeth Peters (1927-2013) was one of the pseudonyms of American writer Barbara Louise Mertz, whose New York Times-bestselling Amelia Peabody mysteries are often set against historical backdrops.

In 2003, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Malice Domestic Convention.
