"The Murder of King Tut” by James Patterson and Martin Dugard
Review # 67
Non-Fiction:
Since 1922, when Howard Carter discovered King Tut's 3,000-year-old tomb, most Egyptologists have presumed that the young king died of disease, or an accident, such as a chariot fall. But what if his fate was actually much more sinister?
Now, in THE MURDER OF KING TUT, the authors describe their investigation and in-depth research into the death of King Tut to find out what really happened to him. They comb through the evidence; X-rays, Carter's files, forensic clues, and scavenge for overlooked data to piece together the details of his life and death.
The result is a true crime tale of intrigue, betrayal, and usurpation that presents a compelling case that King Tut's death was anything but natural. Since there is no written accounts, the only fiction here are conversations that take place before the death of King Tut.
If you are curious about the “boy-King”, you will definitely enjoy this thought-provoking book.
