The Pyramid Chapter 10
THE UNDERGROUND PALACE Menni, governor of the Royal Palace, still distraught, still more or less sick at heart, despite his well-known courage and resourcefulness, had accompanied the royal party back from the pyramid and, as usual when feeling like that, resolved to find comfort in work. There was plenty to do. Not since the days of the "great ones of Abydos," the founders of the empire, had the activities of "the one who lives at Memphis" achieved such a scale of magnificence. The double palace of…-

The Pyramid Chapter 9
PLOTS AND COUNTER PLOTS Had the wide world been searched for the purpose a more striking contrast could not have been found—Netokris—refreshed, but still languorous after her bath and breakfast—and the creature who squatted on the floor there in front of her. He was jet black, short and broad, had a huge and hideous head, made to appear still larger by the crinkly mane of black outstanding wool. The blackness of his skin was accentuated by the white sheet he had drawn about him. No one else…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 2
That afternoon, Kou and Li went back to town in plainclothes for discreet interviews. They asked elderly villagers whether a man surnamed Zhao with a wife surnamed Liu had vanished around 2009. Surprisingly, someone remembered such a couple. An old man said, "There was a guy named Zhao Quancheng. He used to work odd jobs in the city and came back for festivals. After 2009, we never saw him again. His wife’s name was Liu Lihua." Zhao Quancheng and Liu Lihua the names were strikingly close to…-

Perfect Crime Chapter 1
It was late April 2022 when the Public Security Bureau of Lingchuan County in Yunzhou, Sichuan Province, received a strange letter. It was a tip-off, an anonymous report of a supposed murder. The letter claimed that back in 2009, a man named Zhao Yiming from Shuanghe Town, Lingchuan County, had been killed by his wife, Liu Mei, and that his body was dumped somewhere in a forested ravine or a cave nearby. The letter named another man, Chen Xiaobo, as Liu Mei’s accomplice. The police had never…-

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 1
Wings to the Unknown Emma stared at the flickering screen of her laptop, the glow casting shadows across her cramped Brooklyn apartment. It was past midnight, and the city outside hummed with its usual chaos—sirens wailing, neighbors arguing through thin walls. But her world had narrowed to one tab: a Facebook profile photo of Liina, grinning against a backdrop of medieval spires and snow-dusted forests. Tallinn, Estonia. A place she'd never heard of until a random comment on a travel subreddit led…-

The Pyramid Chapter 8
ISIS ON EARTH The pyramids pink in the morning light, just as they always are, to this day; but one of them ruddier than the others—the smallest and most beautiful of the three mighty ones, for it is sheathed in polished red granite from its pointed apex down to the mighty platform on which it stands. Ruddier also is the face of the sphinx, of mighty Harmachis, which guards the necropolis of Memphis, for the same queen who sheathed the pyramid of Menkaura in red granite has likewise caused the face…-

The Pyramid Chapter 7
BACK, FIVE THOUSAND YEARS Carlton felt that there was no need for haste. His first sense of panic had disappeared by this time. In its place had come a feeling of wonder comparatively reflective and calm. He was intensely alert to his physical sensations and his physical surroundings. This was lion-skin on which he reclined. Beneath it was the unmistakable feel of solid rock. "This is an inner chamber of the pyramid," he said softly. "Yes, my own." "And you are Queen Netokris?" "Most…-

The Pyramid Chapter 6
THROUGH GHOSTLY CORRIDORS He knew that they had not entered the Pyramid of Menkaura by the passageway used by tourists to-day. In that monograph of his there is a rough sketch which indicates, so far as possible, the route which he and "the woman" had followed—a succession of ghostly corridors, concerning which there is to-day no other record. Nothing will ever be done about it, most likely. The indications—Carlton admits it frankly enough—leave much to be desired. Neither geometry nor…-

The Pyramid Chapter 5
INTO THE DARK It may be said with perfect confidence that everything depends on a man's personality, on his temperament, anyway. The Society for Psychical Research, both in England and in America, has paid a good deal of attention to this phase of a man. The majority of people never see a ghost, never have even a ghostly feeling, except a sort of "creepiness," perhaps, when something or other occurs that they do not immediately understand. Yet, over against this truth is the other—that the annals…-
