The Egyptologist by Arthur Phillips

ISBN: 9781921640315 PUBLISHER: Scribe Publications FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 400 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.03.2010 DIMENSIONS: 210mmX135mm

DESCRIPTION: This darkly comic labyrinth of a story opens on the desert plains of Egypt in 1922, then winds its way from the slums of Australia to the ballrooms of Boston, by way of Oxford, the battlefields of the First World War, and a royal court in turmoil. Just as Howard Carter unveils the tomb of Tutankhamun, making the most dazzling find in the history of archaeology, Oxford-educated Egyptologist Ralph Trilipush is digging himself into trouble, having staked his professional reputation and his fiancee's fortune on a scrap of hieroglyphic pornography. Meanwhile, a relentless Australian detective sets off on the case of his career, spanning the globe in search of a murderer. And another murderer. And possibly another. The confluence of these seemingly separate stories results in an explosive ending, at once inevitable and utterly unpredictable.
