"The Green Mummy" by Fergus Hume is a mysterious and suspenseful novel first published in 1908. It is a thrilling tale that combines elements of mystery, romance, and adventure, set against the backdrop of an Egyptian archaeological expedition. The story follows the adventures of Dr. Amersham, an archaeologist who is part of a team excavating an ancient tomb in Egypt. As the team unearths artifacts and explores the secrets of the tomb, they come across a remarkable discovery - a green mummy with a hidden treasure. However, this discovery sets off a series of events that lead to intrigue, danger, and unexpected alliances. Fergusson Wright Hume, known as Fergus Hume (1859-1932) was an English novelist. Shortly after graduation he left for Melbourne. He began writing plays, but found it impossible to persuade the managers of the Melbourne theatres to accept or even read them. Finding that the novels of Emile Gaboriau were then very popular in Melbourne, he obtained and read a set of them and determined to write a novel of a similar kind. The result was the self-published novel 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' (1886), which became a great success. After the success of his first novel and the publication of another he returned to England in 1888. He resided in the Essex countryside for thirty years, eventually producing over 100 novels and short stories. He was a capable writer of mystery stories, and may be looked upon as one of the precursors of the many writers of detective stories whose work was so popular in the twentieth century. His other works include 'Madame Midas' (1888), 'The Silent House' (1899), 'The Bishop's Secret' (1900), 'Secret Passage' (1905), 'The Green Mummy' (1908), and 'Red Money' (1912).
