These Egyptian hieroglyphics spell murder. Classic, almost textbook, golden age detective fiction. The plotting is ingenious and fiendishly convoluted. -Vintage Pop Fictions In 1922, English anthropologist Howard Carter discovered the long-hidden tomb of King Tutankhamun, and the world 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.

After all, Markham is merely the New York District Attorney, whereas Philo Vance is . . . well, Philo Vance.Praise for the Philo Vance series With his highbrow manner and his parade of encyclopedic learning, Philo Vance is not only a detective; he is a god out of the machine. -The New York Times The Philo Vance novels were well-crafted puzzlers that captivated readers . . . the works of S.S. Van Dine serve to transport the reader back to a long-gone era of society and style of writing. -Mystery Scene Outrageous cleverness . . . among the finest fruits of the Golden Age. -Bloody Murder
