Publisher's Synopsis
The pharaoh Tutankhamun is dead, killed in a mysterious hunting accident. This should be good news for Huy, who was exiled from court and prevented from working as a scribe when Tutankhamun took the throne. Palace intrigue, though, was never so simple. In the years since his exile, Huy has been eking out a living as a freelance problem solver?the world's first private eye?and it's in that capacity that he's been hired once again, to find out exactly how Tutankhamun died. Huy's employer has an agenda of his own, however, and in becoming his snoop-for-hire, Huy may have bought himself a lot more trouble than he's being paid to take on.
