A dying patient of the desert, a sarcophagus whose perfume lingers, a shadow in a cave: on the Nile, a strange chain of events surrounds the Son of Hap and the one goddess.

Ambrose Pratt's 1910 novel is an atmospheric Egyptian adventure-horror romance. Exotic, eerie, of its era. Read it for a full-blooded period thriller of ancient Egypt reaching into the present, a living mummy, a sinister doctor, and a race for a coffin whose occupant may not be truly dead.
