The author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed novel PRAGUE makes a radical genre shift with this literary thriller, set in Egypt of the early 1920s. Ralph Trilipush, an Englishman insanely envious of Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, is eager to stake his own claim in Egyptology by locating (and profiting by) the tomb of the controversial (and possibly nonexistent) Atum-hadu, a king and writer of erotic poetry. Meanwhile, Trilipush is being tracked down himself--by Australian P.I. Harold Ferrell, who is convinced that Trilipush was responsible for the death of an Australian Egyptologist. The story is told through the journal entries and letters of Trilipush and Ferrell, and the reader must sift through both narratives in order to determine the truth of the events as described.
