The events in the Netherlands in the spring of 1637 were the first examples of speculative frenzy taking over a marketplace. More were to follow in the history of the world’s economics.

Egypt’s boy-king Tutankhamun died aged 18. Hastily mummified and placed in an unfinished tomb, his existence remained unknown until the tomb’s sensational re-discovery in 1922. When two American detectives investigate how and why he died the evidence points to murder, conspiracy and cover-up. It’s an irresistible whodunit where real life detectives hunt down real life ancient killers.
