A London journalist becomes ensnared in a murder investigation full of danger, twists, and Egyptian gods in this 1920 mystery novel. It was a windy night when journalist Jack Addison accompanied a local constable on a routine call. But what he encountered that evening was far from normal and could not be explained away by the gale. A shadowy figure with glowing green cat eyes regarded him from the darkness. Yet the footprints left behind were those of a woman. When these strange events are followed by a baffling murder, Addison and his friend Inspector Gatton will stop at nothing to solve the crime. Who would want Sir Marcus Coverley dead? Who is the mysterious cat-eyed woman? And what does it all have to do with the Egyptian goddess Bast?
