A Stabbing Death in Luxor or the Further Adventures of Professor Hilary Tamar is essentially a murder mystery. The story is told entirely from the viewpoint of Professor Tamar who, along with five of her associates, all barristers in London, comprise a group which has solved several crimes in the past. Professor Tamar becomes suspicious of a client of one of the barristers and soon uncovers a $2.5 million embezzlement scheme. Before the crime is even discovered, one of the embezzlers drives away from a bank in Switzerland with $2.5 million in gold coins loaded in his car, waving to the bank officials as he leaves. Very shortly thereafter, one of the embezzlers is dead, and Professor Tamar begins a more thorough investigation of the embezzlement and this death. Since one the embezzlers is Egyptian, the story soon shifts to Luxor, Egypt, where Professor Tamar and associates soon assemble. A detailed investigation is described, at the conclusion of which the reader is given a possible solution to the more recent stabbing in Luxor, but is left with a question as to its actual cause. The reader is also left with the question as to what the proper pronouns should be for Professor Tamar.
