The is an entertaining book which deals with the Curse of the White Ghost. Dr. Benjamin Kazan, an archeologist, discovers a lost city that he has been searching for all his professional life. The belief has others in his field ridiculing his efforts but despite this he finds the lost city of Opet. Strangely parallel to his own life, the king of the city and his patron and good friend are remarkably alike in appearance. In addition, the king had a friend like Benjamin himself. That friend loved a woman who was like the woman that Benjamin loved. In addition, a man named Xhai, a little black man has identical skills and name to one who lived in Opet. Coincidence? Or, are they the same people who once lived in the lost city of Opet? This exciting read ends with a great battle.
