«Le meurtre de Toutankhamon» is the historical essay by Bob Brier, published by J.-C. Lattès in paperback (395 pages, in French).
The author reconstructs the Egypt of Tutankhamun and applies archaeology, ancient texts and forensic medicine to examine the hypotheses about his death: accident or murder. He analyzes the secrecy surrounding his tomb, the deaths in his inner circle and the correspondence of his widow with the Hittite empire; he also suggests that his name was erased from history.
The book's subtitle is «Une enquête scientifique et policière». The work was originally published in English as «The Murder of Tutankhamen» in 1998; this French edition is from 1999.
For those interested in Egyptology, ancient history and historical mysteries with a forensic approach.
