Synopsis

Sax Rohmer, creator of Fu Manchu and most popular living mystery writer, weaves the weird background and age-old mysteries of Ancient Egypt into the swift and absorbing pages of this new novel. Lincoln Hayes, New York’s most eligible bachelor, has found in a chapter of the centuries-old Book of Thoth a secret which he believes will enable him to discover a priceless Egyptian formula. But before he can leave for Egypt the manuscript vanishes, and with it the cryptic Egyptian gentleman, Mohammed Bey. Involved then with sinister underworld forces, functioning with Oriental subtlety and precision, Hayes starts his search……. The trail inevitably leads to Egypt, land of mystery and dark wisdom. And it is here, while trying to penetrate the veil which guards the ancient secrets, that Lincoln Hayes and his party encounter those terrifying experiences which Sax Rohmer pictures so well. ~ Exerpt from interior page.
