Soon after the tomb of Tutankhamun (1341-23 B.C.E.) was rediscovered in 1922, wags nicknamed him Old King Tut, thus spawning dozens of embarrassing limericks, and, worse yet, creating popular misconceptions about the short-lived Egyptian ruler. As bestselling author James Patterson and Martin Dugard (The Last Voyage of Columbus) note in this nonfiction thriller, Tut died when he was still just a teenager. Moreover, they claim that our image of an all-powerful king who simply succumbed to natural causes is almost certainly wrong. Drawing on X-rays, archaeological files, CSI-worthy forensic clues, and heavy doses of suspense, they argue persuasively that he was murdered. A whodunit for the ages.
