Publisher's Synopsis
In the dusty ruins of the ancient House of the Perfumer at Pompeii, astonishing discoveries are taking place! Long forgotten perfumes are being re-invented and given new life. But when one of these whiffs of wonderment--believed to have legendary hypnotic powers--goes missing, it is up to that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet, Cairo Jim, and his friends to try and stop a rush of evil so gargantuan that the world could be plunged into a chasm of eternal terror!
