Brood of the Witch-Queen

Sax Rohmer, the pulp master behind Fu Manchu, plunges into the occult with *Brood of the Witch-Queen*, a wild ride of ancient Egyptian sorcery unleashed upon Edwardian London. When Robert Cairn witnesses a swan's bizarre, violent death, his suspicions fall on the enigmatic Antony Ferrara. His father, Dr. Bruce Cairn, a scholar of the arcane, soon confirms their darkest fears: Ferrara is no mere criminal, but a practitioner of black magic, wielding powers that stretch back to the pharaohs. A mystical assault on Robert propels the father-son duo into a desperate race against time, from the gaslit streets of London to the sun-baked sands around the pyramids, as they attempt to thwart Ferrara's escalating reign of supernatural terror and prevent more victims from falling under his dark spell.
