Beschreibung

From Tangiers to the Vatican, Dr. Orient breaks deep cover to track an ancient evil After skipping the country to escape a crazed voodoo killer, Dr. Orient finds himself in exile in Tangiers-and still on the run from the CIA, which wants to use his psychic abilities against mankind. Low on money, he agrees to act as the interpreter for Maya Rand, a beautiful art expert who takes him to an archaeological site in Marrakech reputed to be the tomb of Imhotep. Within days, Orient is under occult attack and involved in a murder. On the run again, it's up to him to break a hieroglyphic code and prevent an ancient curse from rising once again. In The Seth Papers, Dr. Orient's adventure takes him from Tangiers to Casablanca to Rome, where he uncovers an unholy plot to sacrifice the Pope and unleash hell on the Vatican.
