The plot was original. Poor Sylvester the Mummy, tossed from one owner to the next, until he landed in a third class joke and trinket emporium. Sylvester was a cowboy from the 1800s who was mummified by the desert heat after being shot and left to die. Jim ends up investigating the mummy's death to get to the bottom of a suspicious contemporary accidental death.Short, amusing, good character development. Jim Knighthorse's high opinion of himself was grating at first, but he grew on me. Afterwards, I decided it was nice to have a hero who wasn't dysfunctional.
