The quest of the sacred slipper

Terror comes to Britain when a self-centered archeologist unearths one of Islam's holiest relics -- the sacred slipper of the prophet Mohammed. Until it is returned to its rightful people, the implacable Hassan of Allepo vows his reign of death and destruction shall not cease. Behind these inhuman outrages is a secret group of fanatics. Not even the best men of Scotland Yard seem able to apprehend them. For, in some mystical way, this phantom band had never been seen or even heard ...

  • "This juicy tale from Sax Rohmer, the British author who introduced the criminal genius Dr. Fu Manchu to the world, follows an elite group of Muslim assassins who are given the mission of exacting vengeance on those responsible for absconding with one of Islam's most holy relics--an intricately decorated slipper purported to have belonged to Muhammad himself."

  • "A non-stop Sax Rohmer yarn. A slipper believed to belong to the prophet Mohammed has been stolen by a British archaeologist and a Muslim sect are after all who come into contact with it, the leader of the sect Hassan of Aleppo, is very much a stand in for Rohmer most famous creation Fu Manchu. The complexity of the schemes to recover and steal the slipper are complicated even more by an American gangster, who is also after it, for his own ends. The whole thing is totally unbelievable, and probably racist, but darned good fun."@en
