Julian Day, while seeking revenge upon those who had ruined his career in the Diplomatic Service, becomes drawn into a quest for treasure, buried for over 2,000 years. It was for lovely Sylvia Shane that Julian decided to set out upon his quest, but it was the damnably dangerous yet adorable Princess Oonas Shahamalek who delayed his going.
Julian's quest takes him through a night in the Tomb of the Sacred Bulls in Alexandria, dope-running in the City of the Dead outside Cairo, white-slaving on the Suez Canal, a fight for life in a Pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, to the final denouement in the middle of the waterless Libyan Desert, 500 miles from civilization.

This macabre tale begins with a box. A Japanese father is sent the severed head of his son.
Merri Sang knew nothing of this, and neither did Julian Day nor Bill Urata, both of whom were in love with her; but the father's thirst for revenge brought all three of them into deadly peril.
The story moves swiftly to a modern day Hong Kong as we follow the web of characters, where capture and death are around each corner and trust has been long forgotten. When Merri is kidnapped, her mother devises a plan to get her back, but Julian must muster all of his courage to carry it out, and perhaps his love rival will help, but maybe only if there's something in it for him at the end.
