Synopsis

SHE WHO SLEEPS

New York socialite Barry Cumberland is racing along the back roads one evening when he sees the woman of his dreams—right before wrecking his car. While recovering he is haunted by this dream woman. He tries to find her to no avail. Then his father, a famed Egyptologist, shares with him a recent find of monumental implications. Danbazzar, a fellow historian, has discovered a papyrus that points to an unopened tomb of a 3,000-year-old Egyptian princess—who supposedly has been preserved alive! Barry, his father and Danbazzar sail for Egypt to unearth this ancient princess. For Barry it is personal, for there on the papyrus is an image of the princess—and she looks just like his dream girl!


MOON OF MADNESS

Nanette is flirting her way toward adulthood, and Decies is one of her many admirers. In fact, all the young men love Nanette. So Decies is surprised that when she does fall in love it’s with the much older Major O’Shea. Nanette and her parents are vacationing, but O’Shea is on the island of Madeira on a mission—to scout out a group of sabotaging Reds. Unfortunately, his efforts are constantly subverted by the well-intentioned Nanette. It begins with De Cuna who is after some secret photos that O’Shea needs to send back to England. Then the nefarious Macalister becomes involved, and Nanette is kidnapped. Decies is at his wit’s end trying to rescue her. All Nanette wants is to get O’Shea’s attention—but this time she has gone too far!

About the Author

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, known to readers as Sax Rohmer, was born in Birmingham on February 15, 1883 to a working class Irish Catholic family. He started his career writing songs and comedy sketches for Music Hall revues. His first novel, The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu, introduced the world to this mysterious and elusive villain, eventually featured in twelve subsequent novels. Rohmer took painstaking care in his arcane research, with many mysteries featuring such occult investigative characters as Gaston Max, “Red” Kerry, Morris Klaw and Paul Harley. Besides also authoring several novels of supernatural horror, toward the end of his career, Rohmer enjoyed another success with a female Fu Manchu known as Sumuru. He married Rose Elizabeth Knox in 1909 and after World War II, they moved to New York, returning to London shortly before Rohmer’s death in London on June 1, 1959, of influenza.
