About This Book
**The Brockhursts' Easter week house party was taking an ominous turn.**
*A sinister seance...*
Madame Sophie's usually brilliant mediumistic performance was spoiled by a sudden blackout and eerie, unexplained screams and knockings.
*A missing butler...*
Chan, the perfect Chinese butler, suddenly was no longer there. Neither was his silver salver.
*The wrong body in the mummy case...*
And when pretty Iris Cooper's beau, Clarence Brockhurst, took her upstairs to meet his mummy, they found that 5,000-year-old Ra-Hotep had been ousted from his sarcophagus by the dead body of a scantily clad young woman.
Someone at the Brockhursts' palatial California estate that beautiful spring week in 1928 had committed the perfect crime -- without a weapon, without a motive. Was it, as Madame Sophie insisted, the mummy's curse? Or a cold, clever killer on the prowl?
