Sumuru Books
WHO WAS SUMURU? It was said that she was an ice-cold, fascinating genius whose hypnotic powers impelled all men to do her bidding. It was said she was a fanatic who ruled her followers with oriental despots. It was said . . . But what was the truth? Nobody really knew although two men knew part of it -- sir Miles Tristram, just returned from Cairo, and Dr. Steel Maitland of the Secret Service. But Tristram died by the hand of a beautiful woman and his secret died with him. That left Maitland alone to follow the trail through Sumuru's shadowy underworld and it almost proved to be a task more than he could handle. In Sins of Sumuru, Sax Rohmer, creator of the famous Fu Manchu novels, has written another masterly story of fear and excitement.
She's back--that mistress of strange delights, goddess of a pagan cult, enslaver of men--spining her web of silken evil in every corner of the world. Sumuru! Sumur the elusive, the enchantress, with the body of a beautiful girl and the soul that was old in Babylon. Meet Sumuru as she faces her arch foe, the grim and tenacious Scotland Yard inspector who had tracked her to almost every foreign shore! Go with Sumuru on her quest for the Seal of Solomon, history's most fabulous jewel, whose owner could set the world on fire in a new and terrible holy war!
