A young man whose luck turns overnight joins a compact with a learned German, von Kerber, to hunt a buried treasure in the hills behind Massowah on the Red Sea. A spirited Miss Fenshawe, a scandalised Mrs. Haxton, night gallops, Bisharin camels and a desert that wakes to fight make up the road to the hoard.
Brisk Edwardian treasure-hunting from the author of The Wings of the Morning, with romance and gunfire in equal measure. Download the free EPUB.
