The Mystery of Khufu's Tomb
The Mystery of Khufu's Tomb is a 'Jeff Ramsden' story by Talbot Mundy, an unjustly neglected Anglo-American adventure writer of the early twentieth century. In this exciting instalment, the much-traveled Ramsden meets an old friend, the feisty and beautiful Joan Angela Leich, whose property holdings in Egypt have attracted unwelcome interest. Soon they are off to the desert, to try and solve the mystery of the location of Khufu's tomb, aided by an old Chinese mathematician, and hindered by the usual swathe of villains, intent on obtaining the treasure for themselves. Far more modern and anti-imperial in outlook than his predecessors Kipling and Rider Haggard, (although not always in his characters' speech), Mundy writes a rollicking good yarn, with plenty of thrills along the way.
