At the beginning of the 20th century, a young unknown pharoah remained, beneath his golden mask, in the darkness of a tomb deep in the Valley of the Kings. His name was Tutankhamun. He had lain undisturbed for a thousand years until two men, Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered the tomb and wrested him from obscurity in an attempt to solve his riddle. Jealousy, betrayal, intrigue and madness: the Tutankhamun Affair was about to begin. Christian Jacq tells the incredible true story of the strange curse of Tutankhamen which was to cause havoc among its unfortunate victims for the next half-century.
Exciting to a point, but after the discovery of Tut's tomb, which you know has to happen, the novel really drags without much fulfillment in the end.
