King Cobra is Harry Hervey's account of his 1925 quest for a lost Khmer temple. Three stories march side-by-side to the measure of his cadenced prose: the impact of French colonialism on the Far East; the tale of the glorious Khmer civilization; and the sensual lives of the region's people. Lavishly illustrated with 35 photographs by the author. John P. Hazen Perry was a prominent architect briefly married to mystery writer Mignon G. Eberhart.
