In 1922, English anthropologist Howard Carter uncovered the long-hidden tomb of King Tutankhamun, and the world promptly went Egypt-crazy. Just a few years later, New York is not immune to the craze, and even Philo Vance, that eminent scholar-sleuth, has some sympathy for the fad--though of course he knows lots more about the topic than Carter ever did. When a wealthy Egyptologist is murdered, with mysterious inscriptions and artifacts dotted round, it's only natural that John F.-X. Markham calls on Philo for help. After all, Markham is merely the New York District Attorney, whereas Philo Vance is...well, Philo Vance.
