Title: Murder in a mummy case
First published: 1986
Description: **The Brockhursts' Easter week house party was taking an ominous turn.**

*A sinister seance...*
Madame Sophie's usually brilliant mediumistic performance was spoiled by a sudden blackout and eerie, unexplained screams and knockings.

*A missing butler...*
Chan, the perfect Chinese butler, suddenly was no longer there. Neither was his silver salver.

*The wrong body in the mummy case...*
And when pretty Iris Cooper's beau, Clarence Brockhurst, took her upstairs to meet his mummy, they found that 5,000-year-old Ra-Hotep had been ousted from his sarcophagus by the dead body of a scantily clad young woman.

Someone at the Brockhursts' palatial California estate that beautiful spring week in 1928 had committed the perfect crime -- without a weapon, without a motive. Was it, as Madame Sophie insisted, the mummy's curse? Or a cold, clever killer on the prowl?
