Lewis Barnavelt and Rose Rita Pottinger, characters created by the late John Bellairs, return in a typically eerie encounter with Egyptian magic wielded by the spirit of a sorceress who plans to sacrifice Rose Rita in order to bring herself back to life. The book breaks no new ground but offers a satisfying enough continuation of Bellairs's supernatural series.
