Brood of the Witch-Queen

A physician and his son investigate Antony Ferrara, an enigmatic man whose mastery of ancient Egyptian sorceries and secret cult practices brings a cascade of uncanny incidents. Their inquiries trace phantom phenomena, hypnotic influences, and occult artifacts—from mysterious rings to conjured elementals and swarms of crawling creatures—while they seek to protect a young woman caught in the peril. Gradually they uncover ritual histories, hidden allegiances, and a dangerous grimoire that bind criminal scheming to supernatural menace, forcing a confrontation that blends detective procedure with occult revelation.
