She Who Sleeps

An Egyptologist’s expedition unearths the perfectly preserved body of an ancient priestess—and a web of danger, obsession, and seeming enchantment closes around those who disturb her rest. Rohmer, a master of exotic thrillers, blends archaeology, romance, and a hint of the supernatural into an atmospheric mystery of tombs and secrets. Set against the allure of ancient Egypt, the novel captures the era’s fascination with mummies and lost civilizations. A moody, page-turning adventure from one of the most popular thriller writers of the early twentieth century.
