AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, A FURTHER MYSTERY OF HISTORY BY GEOFFREY MCSKIMMING

CAIRO JIM AND THE SUNKEN SARCOPHAGUS OF SEKHERET

A Tale of Mayhem, Mystery and Moisture

When the manicured and devious archaeologist, Captain Neptune F. Bone, disappears in the Red Sea while diving for the lost sarcophagus of an obscure Pharaoh, that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet, Cairo Jim, is called in to try and help find him in the dark and watery depths.

Together with his companions, the noble macaw Doris and the enigmatic Brenda the Wonder Camel, he takes the plunge. They have no idea, however, that what they are about to find will become one of the most flabbergasting discoveries in the history of archaeology!

'An admirable retelling of this largely unknown piece of the petticoat of History.' - Gerald Perry Esquire
'Breathtaking and unputdownable.' - The Zarundian Advocate
'Right! That's it! You'll be hearing from my lawyers. I was never as moist as this. Arrr.' - Captain N. Bone
