When the business of crackers turns deadly serious, two turn-of-the-century reporters are tasked with finding a valuable Egyptian treasure, all while evading a mysterious curse. This exotic mystery is full of twists and turns, delivering a delightful mix of intrigue, romance, adventure, and absurdity. 'The Curious Cliche of the Black Scarab' is a tongue-in-cheek adventure tale set in 1912, brimming with golden-era clichés - in the best possible way. It's a perfect read for young and old alike who enjoy light-hearted, old-fashioned escapism.
