When a night watchman vanishes from the British Museum and an Egyptian mummy is found disturbed, Dr. Francis Ralston summons the one man who can solve the impossible: Sherlock Holmes. But the clues make no sense. Chemical residues that are both ancient and wrong, wrappings of a questionable texture, a catalog number-1798-VII-too precise for an uncertain antiquity. And when implications of treasure, blackmail, and murder turn this mystery into pursuits of fortune, family heritage, and scientific discovery, Holmes will have to be at his best. From the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London to the shadowed galleries of the British Museum, from a deathbed promise in Russell Square to a military burial in Paris, The Adventure of Napoleon's Mummy has been a century in the making.
