This darkly comic labyrinth of a story opens on the desert plains of Egypt in 1922,  then winds its way from the slums of Australia to the ballrooms of Boston by way  of Oxford, the battlefields of the First World War, and a royal court in turmoil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Just as Howard Carter unveils the tomb of Tutankhamun, making the most dazzling find  in the history of archaeology, Oxford-educated Egyptologist Ralph Trilipush is digging  himself into trouble, having staked his professional reputation and his fiancée’s  fortune on a scrap of hieroglyphic pornography. Meanwhile, a relentless Australian  detective sets off on the case of his career, spanning the globe in search of a murderer.  And another murderer. And possibly another murderer. The confluence of these seemingly  separate stories results in an explosive ending, at once inevitable and utterly unpredictable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Arthur Phillips leads this expedition to its unforgettable climax with all the wit  and narrative bravado that made \u003ci\u003ePrague\u003c\/i\u003e one of the most critically acclaimed novels  of 2002. Exploring issues of class, greed, ambition, and the very human hunger for  eternal life, this staggering second novel gives us a glimpse of Phillips’s range  and maturity–and is sure to earn him further acclaim as one of the most exciting  authors of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArthur Phillips \u003c\/b\u003eis the internationally bestselling author of three \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Books—\u003ci\u003ePrague, \u003c\/i\u003ethe winner of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\/Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction; \u003ci\u003eThe Song Is You; \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Tragedy of Arthur\u003c\/i\u003e—and \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptologist. \u003c\/i\u003eHe lives in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46555181285537,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780812972597","price":24.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780812972597.jpg?v=1781780538","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-egyptologist-paperback-by-arthur-phillips","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
