Synopsis

". . . the ingenuity of the plot, which leads up to a hair-raising finish . . . Yasmini, more a spirit personified than a person, an incarnation, with her songs and dances and pet cobras, of the charm and sorcery and fascination of the East . . . Mundy has managed to lift his story well of the region of ordinary detective excitement." -- THE TIMES of London Literary Supplement
