Peters, aka Barbara Michaels aka Barbara Mertz (her real name) had a PhD in Egyptology. She wrote a series of hilarious but factually interesting mystery novels about fictional Amelia Peabody, her husband Radcliffe Emerson and their excavations in Egypt in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Mertz also wrote "Red Land, Black Land", a nonfiction book about Egypt.
