Blotto, Twinks and Riddle of the Sphinx

Beschreibung

The curse of Pharaoh Sinus Nefertop is upon Corky Froggett so it's up to Blotto and Twinks to save the day! Yet another financial crisis at Tawcester Towers! So this time the Dowager Duchess decides to sell off family possessions long consigned to the attic. Drawn to an Egyptian sarcophagus decorated with hieroglyphs, Twinks starts to translate: 'Anyone who desecrates this shrine will be visited by the Pharaoh's curse . . .' just as the family chauffeur prises the lid off. The curse of the Pharaoh is now upon Corky, and it's up to Blotto and Twinks to travel to Egypt to banish it! Praise for Simon Brett 'A new Simon Brett is an event for mystery fans' P. D. James 'Murder most enjoyable.' Colin Dexter 'One of British crime's most assured craftsmen . . . Crime writing just like in the good old days, and perfect entertainment.' Guardian
