St Martins Pr, January, 1989. First US Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! FIRST U.S. EDITION. MODERATE WEAR ON DUSTJACKET, LIGHTLY AGED, NO MARKS IN TEXT. Library Journal: In this low-key, steadily involving journey into Egypt, Tamara Hoyland ( A Kind of Healthy Grave ) keeps tabs on a British physiologist traveling up the Nile. When the small tour group becomes stranded on Lake Nasser, one of their number succumbs to poison and another is presumed drowned. Tamara thinks of herself as spy rather than detective, but finds herself searching for a murderer, especially after her own target disappears. As the tour wends its way homeward, Mann carefully juxtaposes her characters, slowly uncovering hidden conflicts, jealousies, identities, and motivations. For most collections.-- REK

Tamara Hoyland, the spy/sleuth last seen in A Kind of Healthy Grave , is on an archaeological tour in Egypt shadowing Janet Macmillan, a physiologist whose research could threaten British security. Others on the tour include Vanessa Papillion, a vicious gossip and chat-show hostessand those with motive to kill her: poet Timothy Knipe, Vanessa's (formerly Janet's) would-be gigolo; John Benson, a snobbish dealer in spurious art, his childish sister Anne; and cheerful Hugo Bloom, their perennial houseguest.
