The Egyptologist

12 CDs 15 hours Critically acclaimed author Arthur Phillips won the L.A. Times First Fiction Prize for his debut novel, Prague, which landed on top 10 lists across America and was a New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post, Boston Globe, and Chicago Tribune bestseller. In The Egyptologist, Phillips displays his gift for brilliantly constructed, labyrithine stories infused with imaginative wit. At the same time Howard Carter makes one of the great discoveries of all time, the unveiling of Tutankhamun's tomb, Egyptologist Ralph Trilipush finds himself in a lisghtly less spectacular position -- he has staked everything on a scrap of hieroglyphic pornography. Halfway around the world, an Australian detective sets off on a globetrotting quest to find a murderer. Or two. Or three. These events, seemingly unrelated, are about to collide in a spectacular yet utterly unpredictable fashion.
