Dirty deeds

A blow to a fragile skull, a body hustled into a plain tomb—doesn’t
sound like the gold-drenched Tutankhamen we know. Egyptologist Bob Brier
unravels a mystery in The Murder of Tutankhamen. His readers? The morbidly
curious, Egyptology 101 students, amateur archaeologists—and professionals
who enjoy a good reading list. Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson/ Putnam,
£20/$24.95, ISBN 0297841300/0399143831.
