MYSTERY OF THE NILE

As the chill of the arabian night settled over the desert, Al-Hasan pulled his blanket around his
shoulders and shivered. Only one day was left to foil the plans of Abu-Sahl. That most precious
of antiquities, the Jewel of Luxor, would shortly be on its way to Baron von Bloefeldt, the notorious
South American collector, and the people of Egypt would be deprived of their greatest treasure.
Dawn would soon be upon him, and Al-Hasan fell into a restless sleep Four miles away, in the
ruins of the ancient Luxor, Nevada Smith was still at work; maps, charts and documents were
piled high upon his desk, and he was sure that at last he had the answer. "Janet, get in here at

Egyptology "What is it, Doctor, what's happened?" "The jewel, Janet, I know where they've taken
it." Nevada pointed to a decayed map at the centre of his desk, "The excavations came remarkably
close to a series of catacombs that haven't been touched since Professor Jones was here in the
late Seventies." ...and so the adventure of Mystery of the Nile begins!
