Little Knell

by Catherine Aird

A large collection of artifacts is left to the Calleshire museum in the will of a local man once prominent in the British colonial service. But Inspector C. D. Sloan of the local police gets involved when the 3,000-year-old mummy case is found to contain a body that's been dead less than a week.
