Originally published at the zenith of Nazi Germany's power, The Moon Is Down explores the effects of invasion on both the conquered and the conquerors. Occupied by enemy troops, a small, peaceable town comes face-to-face with evil imposed from the outside and betrayal from within the close-knit community. As he delves into the motivations and emotions of the enemy, Steinbeck uncovers profound and often unsettling truths both about war and human nature.

Pour Howard Carter, qui plus tard deviendra célèbre en découvrant la tombe de Toutânkhamon, l'Egypte est un pays de rêve et de mystère. Mais en ce début de XXe siècle, il s'y passe de bien étranges choses. D'où viennent ces inquiétantes momies que vendent les pilleurs de tombes? A quels sinistres rituels se livre donc Hank Larrimer, le jeune Américain auquel Carter sert de guide?
