There's real gauze for concern in 1946 Los Angeles ...
Meet Gus Candle. He's a P.I. He doesn't do divorce work. Maybe that's because somewhere underneath all the tarnish, he's got some class. Maybe it's because messy break-ups hit too close to home. At any rate, he doesn't believe in the supernatural. At least, not until his latest case.
If he didn't know it already, Gus learns time doesn't heal all wounds when he battles a lovesick mummy, the mummy's reincarnated queen, the LAPD, a brutal mobster, a sleazy blackmailer, a vindictive District Attorney, and some very angry history professors.
Now Gus has more on his mind than the one who got away, and if he doesn't play all the angles just right ... well, there's a tomb waiting for him.
It's mystery. It's horror. And it stays true to both, in one pulp-tastic package.
