Quests of Simon Ark
“Simon had phoned and asked me to make the journey with him. “I need you, my friend,” he’d said. “You are one of the few stabilizing influences in a world gone increasingly mad.”
“Does the Devil wait for you in Rio, Simon?” I asked. After knowing him for twenty-five years I was too well aware of his interest in the diabolic and mystical.
“Perhaps,” he replied. “A lawyer I know there telephoned me this morning to report on an extraordinary crime. A mummy has been found washed up on Copacabana Bea...ch.”
“A mummy! Wrapped up and everything? Like in Egypt?”
“Yes.”
“Maybe it fell overboard from a ship. Is it very old?”
“It is surprisingly new. It is the mummy of the lawyer’s client, who disappeared from his home the day before Christmas.”
I knew then that I’d be going to Rio with Simon Ark.
My wife Shelly was upset at my missing New Year’s Eve at home, but she understood as well as anyone my strange relationship with Simon Ark. It is a relationship that has brought us together sometimes after years apart, and carried us to distant places while Simon pursued his investigations of the strange and Satanic.MoreLess
