Mundy's stories all occur in places he lived. It is more than one of the charms of his books. It is the key, often, to enjoying them fully. He achieves it, here, where the first third of the story and more takes place in the remote regions of California (Mundy lived for a while in Truckee and also knew the Lake Tahoe region, where, of course, therein lies Pyramid Lake) and has the feel of a detective novel. And, needless to say, the setting in Cairo for the remainder of the book closely incorporates Mundy's experiences of visiting Egypt and his obsession with the Great Pyramid.
Fabulous story. One of the best of the bunch.
