Egyptian Scarab Mystery

A "LIVING" MUMMY haunts Buff Brewster's every step on the expedition seeking the lost tomb of Egypt's ancient Prince Reth. Fighting time to find the treasure crypt designed by Pattak the Tomb Builder, the archaeologists plead with the Egyptian government to postpone construction of a dam which will flood the site. But time is not the only enemy of the expedition. For Pattak himself— whose mummy is missing from a London museum—seemingly has returned to life to oppose the violation of his masterwork! Trapped by the duplicity of a friend, Biff uses ancient magic to extricate himself and his companions, only to learn that it takes modern miracles to keep the "mummy" from hoarding the treasure for himself alone! “Andy Adams” was a house name used by Grosset & Dunlap for their “Biff Brewster Mystery Adventure” series. Walter B. Gibson, famous author of The Shadow novels, wrote and/or co-wrote 5 books in the series including “Egyptian Scarab Mystery”.
