Since 1922 when Howard Carter discovered Tuts 3000-year-old tomb most Egyptologists have presumed that the young king died of disease or perhaps an accident such as a chariot fall. But what if his fate was actually much more sinister? Now in The Murder of King Tut James Patterson and Martin Dugard chronicle their epic quest to find out what happened to the boy-king. The result is a true crime tale of intrigue betrayal and usurpation that presents a compelling case that King Tuts death was anything but natural.
