Description

A mysterious thriller set in Victorian England. Young London lawyer Malcolm Ross takes on an investigation of a strange incident involving an amateur Egyptologist and antiquities collector, Abel Treloine. Ross is driven not only by a sense of duty: he is secretly in love with the scientist’s daughter, Margaret, and cannot leave her alone with fear.

Margaret’s concerns are completely justified: the father is found unconscious, on the brink of life and death, his hand disfigured by horrific bloody wounds—whose origin nobody can explain. How could he be attacked in a locked office? What really happened? And could it be connected to artifacts arranged oddly in the room—artifacts Treloine категорically forbade to touch or move?

Step by step, Ross cuts off one version after another until he arrives at a frightening conclusion: the solution lies far beyond ordinary logic and common sense.
