The scenes of this story are laid in Egypt featuring Abu-Tabah, the inscrutable Egyptian, who appears and disappears so mysteriously. Abu-Tabah is is not so blood-curdling a villain as Fu Manchu, but his exploits possess the same exotic interest that characterized the often nefarious activities of the yellow doctor. In the latter half of the book, notably in the story, The Valley of the Sorceress, there is an element new to Sax Rohmer’s work, the supernatural.

First Sentence

"THE duhr, or noonday call to prayer, had just sounded from the minarets of the Mosques of Kalaun and En-Nasir, and I was idly noting the negligible effect of the adan upon the occupants of the neighboring shops-coppersmiths for the most part-when suddenly my errant attention became arrested."
