Brood of the Witch Queen / The Quest of the Sacred Slipper

BROOD OF THE WITCH-QUEEN



Dark magic is afoot in London. Robert Cairn suspects that there is something sinister about classmate Antony Ferrera. Egyptologist Dr. Cairn, Robert's father, suspects that Ferrera may be wielding a malignant influence on those around him. The doctor certainly knows more than he is willing to share about the origins of young Ferrera. Soon, the Cairns find themselves under a strange psychic attack from phantoms in the night. Their enemy: Antony Ferrera! Their only hope is that they find a way to fight Ferrera--a man who can summon the powers of ancient Egypt at will and attack them from the shadows...and in their dreams!



THE QUEST OF THE SACRED SLIPPER



When Cavanagh befriends Professor Deeping on board the Mandalay, little does he realize that he has entered into a world of Eastern assassins, the world of the Hashishîn. For Deeping has stolen a holy relic, a slipper belonging to Mohammed, and is now being pursued by someone named Hassan of Aleppo, whose duty it is to guard and return the relic. For an infidel to merely touch the box where the relic resides results in the removal of their hand. But Deeping wants to commit the ultimate sacrilege and put the relic on display in a museum. Now Deeping is dead--murdered in his home--and has bequeathed to Cavanaugh the key to his safe ... where resides the sacred slipper!
