Polaroid of the Damned

1964. When a British antiquarian snaps a Polaroid inside a sealed Saharan tomb, the image reveals a gleaming idol that seems to blink. Word leaks—an American pilot, a Cairo newspaperwoman, and shadowy Eastern Bloc agents race to recover the cursed artifact before it triggers an international crisis. From battered Land Rovers to freighter hold-ups and clandestine transistor-radio broadcasts, they chase superstition and geopolitics. A feverish caper where archaeology collides with Cold War machinery and ancient wrath.
