Tomb of the Golden Bird (2006) is the 18th in a series of mystery novels, written by Elizabeth Peters and featuring fictional sleuth and archaeologist Amelia Peabody.
The title comes from the nickname given the tomb of Tutankhamon by Egyptian workers, who were fascinated by Howard Carter's pet canary, and certain that the golden bird would bring a lucky season.
Howard Carter returns as a featured character, as the Emersons are privy to his discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamon.
