OverviewBook sixteen in the Inspector Lestrade series. 'And death shall come on soft wings to him that touches the tomb of the Pharaoh ...' The wings that retired Chief Superintendent Lestrade came on were those of a de Havilland Hercules, named Olivia.

String, the railway magnate, blew his brains out yards from the tomb's entrance. And so it was that Sholto Lestrade flew East to solve a riddle every bit as impenetrable as that of the sphinx.
