Whilst he appeared briefly in the last book, he is a major character here. The third installment in the Amelia Peabody series, The Mummy Case sees the real introduction of Ramses as a character in his own right. Soon there are disappearing and appearing mummy cases, besotted servants, and numerous other events all keeping both Amelia and Emerson on their toes, both in the investigation and archaeologically! The new Director of Antiquities has gleefully assigned them a site that is less than glamorous (no pyramids!) for our experienced archaeologists, and they are not happy! To make matters worse, Amelia is convinced that one of their old acquaintances has been murdered, and she is convinced that there is a Master Criminal behind the murder. However the season has not started well for them. Amelia and Emerson are back in Egypt, and this time their son Ramses along with their servant John accompany them.
