Rug Saga in Cairo Turns on Priceless Yhiordes
George P. A. Jones, a rug expert, meets Horace Ryanne in Cairo and is drawn into a tale of a priceless Yhiordes carpet. Ryanne offers the rug for sale while recounting perilous adventures, threats, and a past tied to Bagdad. Jones buys time and cash, tempted by the artifact and its history, amid inner conflict and looming moral peril.
