'When an ancient alabastron is stolen from the Greek Archaeological Museum, only one man can help - Cairo Jim! The seemingly ordinary vase is home to a potent force that must not be allowed to escape, and when the treacherous Captain Bone gets his manicured fingers on the alabastron, Jim fears the darkest consequences for all mankind' (Source: Google books).
