Ancient Gods on Campus - Paperback

by L. L. Gertler (Author)

Ben Sachs arrives on the campus of Edwards College in the late 1920s as one of only a handful of Jewish students at the elite, isolated college in rural western Pennsylvania. Ben is having a rough time just surviving his first semester when a beloved professor's mutilated corpse is discovered hanging from a large oak tree on the quad, sending the entire campus into a frenzy of paranoia and fear.

Amidst the chaos, a well-respected but eccentric history professor reaches out to Ben. He is determined to solve the brutal murder, but he needs an assistant-an outsider who can approach this dark campus and its mysteries with fresh eyes.

Ben is quickly plunged into an investigation that will shake him to his very core. He soon discovers a powerful and shadowy cabal hiding in plain sight. And it becomes clear that the group will stop at nothing to achieve their nefarious goals.

To make matters worse, an ancient Egyptian mummy is also on campus. A mummy that does not contain a human body, but something far stranger and more alarming: an ancient creature eerily resembling the Egyptian god of death. A creature who, if revived, may portend the end of days.

So begins a race against time. The stakes couldn't be higher-the very future of humanity.
