Synopsis
Benjamin H. Kyle, the philanthropist who funded the excavations of the eminent Egyptologist Dr. Mindrum Bliss, is found dead in Bliss's private Egyptian museum in New York, struck down by a statue of the lion-headed goddess Sakhmet. Beside the body lies a rare scarab pin belonging to Dr. Bliss himself.
The evidence seems overwhelming, perhaps too overwhelming. Philo Vance, who happens to be an amateur Egyptologist, suspects that the clues have been arranged by someone who knows ancient Egypt as well as he does. Among a household of scholars, servants and heirs, Vance must read the hieroglyphs of a modern crime.
First published in 1930, The Scarab Murder Case is the fifth Philo Vance mystery. This unabridged edition is performed by a full cast, with a distinct voice for Vance, Markham, Heath and every suspect. Produced by EZY Studios.
