About This Book

A determined newspaper reporter travels to New York to secure an exclusive interview with a charismatic woman who presides over an Egyptian antiquities society and is rumored to embody a prominent occult figure. He maneuvers past social barriers and editorial demands, using an academic introduction to gain access to a richly staged Egyptian hall. The narrative follows journalistic ambition and institutional rivalry with a Boston counterpart, showing how antiquarian display, spiritual claims, and personal motives collide and complicate attempts to separate private belief from public spectacle.
