The Falcon at the Portal by Elizabeth Peters
Amelia Peabody and her family travel to Egypt for their annual dig. Her niece's Egyptian husband is accused of selling ancient artefacts that are actually exquisite fakes, and then the body of an American is found at the botton of the family's excavation shaft. It becomes clear that the land of the pharoahs harbours many secrets.
