The Lorgaire, and Big Mac Giolla ar two very different people. Although the Lorgaire is a little fellow, according to himself he is a big detective - someone who detects big things. As for Big Mac Giolla, the Lorgaire thinks he would make a fine assistant - he could break a lock for him, carry big bags, or even frighten away rogues.
A chance encounter with an eccentric Egyptologist, Seán Ó Tuama, takes Tintin and his faithful dog, Báinín, on an adventure in search of the lost tomb of Pharaoh Kí-Oskh. But the king’s resting place contains a secret much darker than mummies and desert sand. By following a strange clue, Tintin and Báinín fall headlong into the clutches of a gang of drug smugglers, as they unwittingly find themselves in vicious conflict with an international criminal. Translated by Gabriel Rosenstock.
