A mummy is stolen from a small town museum along with some Roman
coins and a soaking wet man collapses in fourteen year old Peter
Furneaux's living room bleeding from the head. What was a suspected
student prank is followed by murder. At first it is impossible to
see the connection, but the eccentric Colonel Manton does. With
Peter's help the Colonel unravels a mystery that strikes fear into
the heart of a genteel suburban neighbourhood and gives Peter
rather more excitement than he bargained for at the tennis club
social. This meticulously paced thriller shows Amis at his most
subtle and daring.
