Sir Henry Merrivale's further encounters with the impossible, as he routs out Dirty Work from Cairo to England, in the disappearance of an archaeologist's daughter, cursed by the possession of a bronze lamp found in recent diggings. H.M. blasts his way through high emotional temperatures, and as the girl's father also disappears, provides a triple clarification that forever brands the perpetrators of a smuggling plot. Entertaining puzzlement.
