From the back cover:
Welcome to Secret of the Whispering God! This adventure is the first in a planned trilogy that seeks to evoke the feel of pulp sword-and-sorcery adventure fiction. It seeks to evoke the tradition of Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, and other authors of tales of intrigue, suspense, and daring in a time before recorded history.
Although the adventure strikes a low fantasy tone that differs from some of the more gonzo aspects of Dungeon Crawl Classics, we hope that you and your players will find that it provides a fun challenge that tests the characters’ abilities in many unusual ways.
This adventure is set in Currena, a prosperous port city. Though the city enjoys thriving trade and a wealthy merchant quarter, the party’s meager lodgings are in the Dens, a slum inhabited by cutpurses and ne’er-do-wells along with a good number of relatively honest but destitute and desperate folk with few better options.
In this adventure, the characters are hired to steal a valuable art object from a wealthy merchant’s house, but they find the task is more complex than it appears.
