DEATH COMES AS THE END
An ingenious novel of jealousy, betrayal and serial killings in ancient Egypt
A novel of anger, jealousy, betrayal and murder in 2000 BC
It is Egypt, 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a Ka-priest. Young, beautiful and venomous, most agree that she deserved to die like a snake.
But at her father's house on the banks of the Nile, the priest's daughter Rensienb believes that the woman's death was suspicious. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within her own father's household - and watches helplessly as the family's passions explode in murder...
As the wife of an eminent archaeologist, Agatha Christie took part in several expeditions to the Middle East. Drawing upon this experience and exhaustive research, she wrote this serial killer mystery laid in Egypt 4000 years ago.
