About This Book

A scientist and his daughter encounter an ancient Egyptian mummy that bears a striking resemblance to her, and their curiosity opens a collision of speculative science and uncanny occurrences. The narrative weaves discussions of a possible fourth dimension with prophetic Egyptian figures, hypnotic influence, inexplicable disappearances, theft and murder by suggestion, and temporal transits that blur past and present. Romantic entanglements, mystics, and investigators converge as the mystery deepens, leading through revelations about identity, resurrection, and desire to a dramatic reconciliation and marriage.
