The Tomb of Ts'in is a 1916 adventure-thriller novel by Edgar Wallace, centered on the perilous quest for the legendary tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang. The narrative intertwines crime, espionage, and archaeology, featuring characters like Captain Ted Talham and the detective Signor Tillizinni as they navigate a web of deception and danger. Notably, the book predates the actual discovery of the Emperor's tomb by over fifty years and reflects Wallace's earlier work, leading to a scarcity of copies due to wartime printing shortages.
