The Buried Pyramid

Set in the Victorian age, The Buried Pyramid is, at the start, an archaeological suspense novel. Jenny Benet, a recently orphaned American who was raised in the Wild West before being “finished” in Boston, goes to Egypt with her uncle, Neville Hawthorne, a prominent British archaeologist. They’re searching for the legendary Buried Pyramid, the tomb of the pharaoh Neferankhotep—who may also have been Moses the Lawgiver.
Discovering the tomb is not the end of their journey but only the beginning. In The Buried Pyramid, Jane Lindskold sends us on a marvelous ride through Ancient Egyptian myth, legend, and religion and leaves us enlightened and amazed. It remains my favorite of Jane’s non-series novels, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

“Lindskold delivers an exotic historical fantasy that takes the reader from Victorian England to Egypt… the supernatural spookiness carries the story to a satisfying conclusion.” – Publishers Weekly

“The setting is impeccable, as are the characters” manners, with rich details that bring the era vividly to life. Jenny is a charming heroine, at once practical and daring, and the secondary characters comprise a worthy cast of intellectuals and eccentrics, both English and Egyptian…. A definite keeper, and a story to be savored.” – Romantic Times

“Some incredible fantastic encounters, marvels, even a bit of time travel…. it”s spectacular.” – Locus

“This would make a fine movie…. The Buried Pyramid offers hot, dusty entertainment for a dreary afternoon.” – Detroit News and Free Press
