Sobre IBD

First published in 1908, The Green Mummy by Fergus Hume is a classic Victorian-Edwardian sensation novel that blends elements of gothic mystery, early detective fiction, and Egyptomania. The plot revolves around Professor Braddock, an eccentric antiquarian who acquires an extraordinary Peruvian mummy wrapped in distinctive green funeral cloths. Drama escalates when a Peruvian aristocrat, Don Pedro, arrives to reclaim his ancestral remains, only for the mummy’s sarcophagus to become the focal point of a shocking murder and the theft of priceless emeralds hidden within the wrappings. As a tangled web of greed, romance, and imperialist anxieties unravels, Hume delivers a suspenseful, atmospheric whodunit filled with the dramatic plot twists and melodramatic flair that made him a pioneer of the modern mystery genre.
