The Murder Of King Tut

Much is known and has been written about King Tutankamen's treasures, but very little literature explores what it must have been like to know the 'boy-king' who ascended the throne at the tender age of eight and died mysteriously a mere ten years later. Many Egyptologists today believe Tut may have been murdered. The Murder of King Tut is a fact-based fictional account of the extraordinary life of Tut as seen through the eyes of a fictional childhood friend and later bodyguard, Abdari, a Hebrew slave. In the opening scene, a wealthy merchant from Egypt accuses Abdari as Tut's murderer. Certain he will be wrongly found guilty, Abdari is forced to tell the true account of Tut's life and death for the first time in forty years in order to clear his name. In a first-person account, Abdari narrates the story that began when he first met Tut as a young boy. Tut and Abdari spend their early years as fond playmates, but each well aware of their respective places. Later, as Tut's bodyguard, Abdari convinces him that the Hebrew God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob alone should be worshipped, a dangerous endeavor even for a pharaoh!
