Whilst keeping a very close watch upon Robert Ingall, an Egyptologist accompanied by his daughter Mary, he finds that his old acquaintance Edgar Asprey is also observing the pair. Both men have an eye to stealing Ingall's magnificent golden box, in which is embedded a large emerald, and Asprey proposes that the two join forces to purloin the treasure..." -- From the back cover.
