The story:
Continuing their
long and arduous journey back from Kilhar Pass
(see S008 Castle in the Cloud and S009 The Ismani Cannibals), the
Phantom and the Marshall sisters hit the Oolan River, where more trouble occurs: slave
traders capture the sisters to sell them on at a handsome price at a nearby
slave mart.
The Phantom is quick to pick up the trail, and before long the clues point to the hidden city of
Ibn Hamid Sand, better known as Hamid the Terrible, an absolute ruler of a
magnificent kingdom who has never been seen in public. The Phantom must enter this mysterious lair, where new twists and turns constantly force the plot in unexpected
directions...

Trail of Skeletons
