Summary
 This time, Amelia and her dashing husband Emerson set off
    for a promising archaeological site in the Sudan, only to be
    unwillingly drawn into the search for an African explorer and
    his young bride who went missing twelve years back. They
    survive the rigours of the desert, the death of their camels,
    and the perfidy of their guides, only to find themselves taken
    prisoner in a lost city and civilisation. Amelia and Emerson
    must bravely continue making archaeological finds while doing
    their best to rescue the innocent... and themselves.
