Master of suspense James Patterson re-opens the ultimate cold case - the unsolved death of Tutankhamen.<br/><br/>A secret buried for centuries<br/>Thrust onto Egypt's throne when just nine years old, Tutankhamen's reign was fiercely debated from the outset. Behind the palace's veil of prosperity, bitter rivalries and jealousy flourished among the boy king's most trusted advisors. After only nine years in power, and in the very prime of his life, Tut suddenly perished, and his name was purged from Egyptian history. To this day, his death remains shrouded in controversy.<br/><br/>The keys to an unsolved mystery<br/><br/>Enchanted by the young ruler's tragic story and hoping to unlock the answers to the 3,000-year-old mystery, Howard Carter made it his life's mission to uncover the pharaoh's hidden tomb. He began his search in 1907, but encountered countless setbacks and dead-ends before he finally, after fifteen years, uncovered the long-lost crypt.<br/><br/>The clues point to murder<br/><br/>Now in The Murder of King Tut, James Patterson and Martin Dugard dig through the evidence - X-rays, Carter's files, forensic clues, and stories told through the ages - to arrive at their own account of Tut's life and untimely death. The result is an exhilarating true crime tale of intrigue, passion, and betrayal that casts fresh light on one of the oldest mysteries of all.
