About This Book

A detective and his companions find a spear thrust into their camp carrying a distinctive necktie and a parchment invitation, signaling that a young man has been taken into a remote, walled city. They deduce that the abduction is the work of the city’s powerful high priest and that the population is tightly controlled by a cult worshiping a Golden Scarab. The party debates the danger posed by the city’s fortifications and the priest’s influence, then resolves to mount a rescue that will rely on both careful planning and force to penetrate defenses and recover the captive.
