Dinge, die Forscher von abenteuerlichen Expeditionen mitgebracht haben, oft unter Einsatz ihres Lebens und mehr als einmal gegen den Willen der rechtmäßigen Besitzer. Doch als Professor Thomas Edward McCoy vor über hundert Jahren auf einer seiner Forschungsreisen nach Mesopotamien den schwarzen Sarkophag außer Landes brachte, hat ihn niemand aufgehalten. Zu groß ist die Angst derer, die die Geschichten über Sin-Balih, seine Gräueltaten und seine Ermordung kennen.
