"Abdullah clapped his hand to his brow. 'Not a dead man, sitt. Not another dead man . . .' A flicker of reviving hope returned to his stricken face. 'Is it a mummy you mean, sitt? An old dead man?'"

A little English woman that packs a big wallop!! This is how I would describe the spunky Mrs. Amelia Peabody Emerson, otherwise known as the Sitt Hakim. If you are not familiar with Amelia I would just like to say you are missing out on a fantastic character.
Amelia Peabody is a spunky archeologist who finds a dead body on her doorstep every time she and her handsome/temperamental husband Radcliffe Emerson enter Egypt on one of their famous archeological digs.
She catches murders, kidnappers; master criminals all with the help of her every present belt of accouterments and of course her trusty parasol.
Amelia is the creation of author, Elizabeth Peters. There are around 18 books in the Amelia Peabody, and they all take place in Egypt.
Want to learn more about Amelia and her family check out the website dedicated to the infamous Amelia Peabody. http://www.ameliapeabody.com/
