The Green Mummy plunges readers into a suspense-driven tale of romance, mystery, and crime set in a small English community where a rare Incan mummy triggers obsession, theft, and murder. The plot centers on a young couple determined to marry and the eccentric archaeologist whose fixation on the mummy upends their lives. As hidden motives emerge and secrets unravel, the story drives relentlessly toward justice and resolution.
Fergus Hume builds the story around Archie Hope, who strives to win the approval of Professor Braddock so he can marry Lucy Kendal. Archie secures a rare Peruvian mummy to satisfy the professor’s archaeological obsession, believing the gift will smooth his path to marriage. Instead, the mummy’s arrival stirs suspicion, rivalry, and greed among those who covet its value. When violence erupts, Archie finds himself entangled in a dangerous mystery that threatens both his future and Lucy’s safety.
As the investigation unfolds, hidden motives surface and alliances shift. Professor Braddock pursues the mummy with relentless intensity, while other characters manipulate events for personal gain. Secrets from the past collide with present ambitions, driving the narrative toward confrontations that expose deception and restore order. Hume blends romance, suspense, and sharp characterization to keep the tension high until the final resolution.
