THE BAT FLIES LOW

An excellent story, well-written -- and with Rohmer's usual talent for excitement. This time an Egyptian setting -- and the mystery is connected with the disappearance of a manuscript in process of being decoded, which held the secret of the invention of an extraordinary lamp. The owner follows the remembered clues -- and eventually the mystery is solved, and the wrath of the gods visited upon the American who is endeavoring to produce this lamp enlarged beyond the wisdom of man to apply. There is adventure and romance -- plus the mystery itself.
