"A jaded archaeologist makes a stunning find on the final dig of his mediocre career. He unearths a box, carefully secured with the seal of Eye, grand vizier of Tutankhamen. Upon breaking the seal, the archaeologist realizes that he holds a sensation in his hands - the world's first murder mystery." "Eye had served as the grand vizier to Akhenaton until the death of the mad, tyrannical pharaoh brought about the transfer of the crown to his young son, Tutankhamen. Eight years later, this petulant young pharaoh orders Eye to solve the mystery of his father's murder, a near-impossible demand, as the former king was presumed to have died of natural causes. The young king grants the shamus only seven days to find the murderer. To Eye's even greater horror, Tut forbids the use of torture in his investigation. Stripped of the mainstay of Egyptian jurisprudence, Eye fears that he will not survive longer than the investigation's seven days. The odds of success are further reduced by the fact that all of Egypt hated the former pharaoh and rejoiced in his death. And so it is with a moan that the world's first private detective faces his greatest challenge. This tongue-in-cheek account, painstakingly translated by Levin's archaeologist, brings the intrigue-laden world of ancient Egypt to vivid - and hilarious - life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
