Jimgrim and Allah's Peace is another of Mundy's highly exciting adventure stories featuring James Schuyler Grim, better known as Jimgrim. Jimgrim is an American secret service agent employed by the British and stationed in the Mid-East. His adventures, protecting British interests against the French and other countries meddling in the region following World War I, comprise one of the most interesting creations from the pulp magazines of the early 20th century.

Originally published in 1935, "The Mystery of Khufu's Tomb" features Mundy's hero Jeff Ramsden, as he sets out to aid the beautiful Joan Angela Leich, whose interests in Egypt have brought her unwelcome attention. Ramsden as Joan are soon off to the desert in search of Khufu's tomb -- and whatever treasures await!

"Jimgrim" was originally serialized in "Adventure" magazine as "King of the World" in seven installments, from November 15, 1930 through February 15, 1931. It is the final installment in the Jimgrim saga -- though not the last book written.

"e;Jimgrim and a Secret Society"e; originally appeared in the classic pulp magazine Adventure, in the August 10, 1922 issue. It is part of Mundy's series featuring James Schuyler Grimm, better known as Jimgrim, a British agent. In this volume, he resigns from the British military service to take a job (along with his friends Jeff Ramsden, Narayan Singh, and Jeremy Ross) as a freelance agent combating criminals who threaten world peace.

Adventures in Araby--what is now Palestine and Israel and Jordan and Saudi Arabia and Iraq--with Jimgrim--Major James Schuyler Grim--and assorted adventurers. You wouldn't find a tougher, less easily stampeded gang in Asia Minor than the party Grim had left with me. They spat on their cartridges and crammed them in like veteran soldiers instead of the thieves they were by trade, and each bullet was loosed on its way with an appropriate curse, until Narayan Singh on the far right laughed so that he could hardly shoot straight. And the camels went down one by one like great ships sinking, pitching up their sterns as they plunged bow first.
