Tutankhamun by Nick Drake
These brutal acts are destabilizing a ruthless regime already unstable thanks to corruption and the appalling divide between rich and poor. Meanwhile, Tutankhamun, at 18, has inherited an empire that should be at the height of power and glory.
In the best tradition of CJ. Sansom's Shardlake mysteries, Nick Drake has woven a bright, luminous tapestry. This is brilliant, make sure you read every line. -- Manda Scott

Using modern research, Nick Drake has painted an authentic picture of a lost civilisation, and brings alive the ill-fated boy-king who still fascinates to this day * Daily Mail *
