Books like The Egyptologist by Phillips, Arthur


The Egyptologist follows the trail of a mysterious, possibly apocryphal king in 1922 Egypt, drawing his life and reputation into jeopardy. The story expands from the desert to colonial Australia, the historic halls of Oxford, the battlefields of World War I, and the opulent ballrooms of Boston. A relentless Australian detective dutifully pursues a murder case that ties the fates of archaeologist Ralph Trilipush and the archaeologically minded protagonist together. The narrative explores themes of ambition, wealth, class, and the desire for eternal life, weaving a complex plot that culminates in a surprising, inevitable yet unpredictable conclusion.
