Subject: Looking for Zane

Hi,

I am trying to locate these books by Zane Grey I had read as a teenager 
growing up in India, so maybe some of you have read these as well, 
anyway you are my last resort.

Decades ago I read a couple of novels by Zane Grey, one was the story 
of an Italian nobleman who is considered to have died in a plague, but 
he revives in his coffin and gets out, when he goes home he finds out 
that his wife had been cheating on him all along, and had never loved 
him, he sets about wreaking revenge through the rest of the book.

The other book was I think a re-incarnation type story set in Egypt.

Both very much in the vein of Daphne Du Maurier, and nicely 
Orientalist, even though one was set in Italy (the characters are 
"dark" therefore have uncontrollable passions etc.)

All that I could find when I researched Zane Grey on the web was that 
he was a very successful writer of Western themed novels. I am 
wondering if indeed there are two authors by the same name, or that he 
had indeed written these books whose titles I can't remember.

Any leads?

thanks,

Shashwati
