An ancient mummy. A brutal murder. A secret buried for generations.
Professor Braddock has devoted his life to the study of ancient civilizations, and his latest acquisition promises to become the prize of his collection: a mysterious Peruvian mummy enclosed within a green case. Yet when the long-awaited shipment reaches England, the precious relic has vanished-and in its place lies the murdered body of the professor's young assistant, Sidney Bolton.
With the mummy missing and the police struggling to uncover the truth, suspicion falls upon a strange circle of scholars, adventurers, sailors, servants, and rivals. Archie Hope, already entangled in the professor's affairs through his love for Braddock's stepdaughter Lucy, finds himself drawn ever deeper into the mystery. Each discovery raises another question, while an old manuscript and rumours of precious emeralds suggest that the mummy may conceal a secret far more valuable-and far more dangerous-than anyone first imagined.
As forgotten events from South America return to haunt the present, greed, jealousy, deception, and murder become intertwined. Someone knows the truth about the green mummy, and someone is willing to kill to keep that truth concealed.
First published in 1908, The Green Mummy is a classic mystery from Fergus Hume, author of The Mystery of a Hansom Cab. Combining murder investigation, archaeological intrigue, hidden treasure, romance, and secrets from the past, this atmospheric tale leads readers through a labyrinth of clues and suspicions toward the startling truth behind the missing mummy.
