The Quest of the Sacred Slipper
"The Quest of the Sacred Slipper" by Sax Rohmer is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around a mysterious and sacred object, specifically a slipper once belonging to the Prophet Mohammed, which has become the center of intrigue and peril, drawing the interest of dangerous factions. The narrative follows the protagonist, journalist Mr. Cavanagh, as he navigates a web of deceit, danger, and the supernatural in pursuit of the truth behind the slipper's significance and the threats it subsequently brings. The beginning of the story sets the tone aboard the S.S. Mandalay, where a mysterious event involving an injured passenger ignites tension among the crew and travelers. Cavanagh, intrigued by the happenings, engages with a fellow passenger, Mr. Ahmad Ahmadeen, who hints at the significance of the unfolding events. Soon after, Cavanagh is introduced to Professor Deeping, whose scholarly pursuits appear to connect him to the slipper's dark history. A chilling series of violent incidents follow, marking those who come into contact with the slipper and establishing an ominous backdrop that hints at the presence of the cult-like Hashishin, led by the enigmatic Hassan of Aleppo. The narrative promises suspense as Cavanagh becomes embroiled in a quest filled with supernatural elements, perilous stakes, and a cast of characters each entwined with the fate of the relic.
