" Strange paintings have come to light in ancient Mexican pyramids and temples. Is the mysterious painted woman the actual Quetzal Queen? Did she really reign for almost 800 years?

Cairo Jim, that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet, ... finds himself faced with another flabbergasting mystery from times past " -- back cover.' (Libraries Australia record).
