Publisher's Synopsis
What if an ancient curse could strike down anyone... with just a look?
The Green Eyes of Bast by Sax Rohmer is a gripping supernatural thriller that intertwines mystery, ancient mythology, and the occult in a uniquely haunting narrative. This modern translation reawakens a tale that has long slumbered in the shadows of classic horror fiction.
When Sir Marcus Coverly is murdered under inexplicable circumstances, the evidence points to no human assassin-but rather, to something feline and otherworldly. Detective Paul Harley, a specialist in strange and supernatural cases, is called in to investigate. His journey takes him deep into London's darkest alleys and across the arcane mysteries of ancient Egypt, where the cult of Bastet-the feline goddess of vengeance-still casts its chilling shadow.
Rohmer, the famed creator of Dr. Fu Manchu, here crafts a tale of suspense that explores the fear of the unseen, the power of belief, and the dangers of awakening forces better left undisturbed.
