THE MURDER OF KING TUT - JAMES PATTERSON & MARTIN DUGARD

MASTER OF SUSPENSE JAMES PATTERSON REOPENS THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE --- THE UNSOLVED DEATH OF KING TUT.

A secret buried for centuries

Thrust onto Egypt's most powerful throne at the age of nine, King Tut was challenged from the first day of his reign. The veil of prosperity could not hide the bitter rivalries and jealousy that flourished among the Boy King's most trusted advisers. Less than a decade after his elavation , King Tut suddenly perished, and in the years and centuries that followed, his name was purged from Egyptian history. To this day, his death remains shrouded in controversy.

The keys to an unsolved mystery

Intrigued by what little was known about Tut, and hoping to unlock the answers to the 3,000 year-old mystery, Howard Carter made it his life's mission to uncover the pharaoh's hidden tomb. He began his search in 1907 but encountered countless setbacks and dead ends before he finally discovered the long-lost crypt.

The clues point to murder

Now, in The Murder of King Tut, James Patterson and Martin Dugard dig through stacks of evidence --- X-rays, Carter's files, forensic clues, and stories told through the ages --- to arrive at their own account of King Tut's life and death. The result is an exhilarating true-crime tale of intrigues, passion, and betrayal that casts fresh light on the oldest mystery of all.

UP IN THE AIR - WALTER KIRN

"To know me, you have to fly with me."

Meet Ryan Bingham, thirty-five, corporate consultant, very frequent flier, citizen of the transient realm he calls "Airworld." With his cell phone, his handheld computer, and his wardrobe of wrinkle- free slacks and jackets, he's part of a new species: the commercial airborne commando who travels light and depends on no one. A career transition counselor for a Denver-based management firm --- he helps fire people for a living, a job he's come to loathe --- Ryan has a complicated past, an uncertain present, and a very simple goal: to accumulate one million air miles in his cherished frequent flier account. And once he gets there, along with bragging rights among his peers, revenge for years of humiliation at the hands of airlines, and a sense of completion, he'll quit his job and achieve a long-deisred (but ambiguous) freedom.

Now Ryan's on his final push: a fiendishly difficult itinerary of eight cities and countless meetings in just six days mixing business, pleasure, and family duties. He's convinced he can pull things off, conditions permitting --- and ther, of course, is the catch. Almost from the moment he takes off, they deteriorate. Weather problems. Maintenance foul-ups. Needy seatmates. Mysterious credit card glitches. Deepening guilt for his professional sins. The persistent sense that someone is paging him over the airport loud speakers. Through it all, though, Ryan Bingham points his compass at true north: one million miles. Six zeroes and a one.

Walter Kirn is one of the most perceptive and witty chroniclers of American life, and his new novel combines brilliant social observation with an acute sense of the psychic costs of our rootless existence. Ryan Bingham is a contemporary Willy Loman -- he's just travels faster and carries more advance gadgets in his briefcase --- and a postmodern descendant of Sinclair Lewis's businessman antihero, George Babbitt. Up in the Air is a very different sort of aiport read: a reinvention of the classic American road novel, where the "road" ascends to 30,000 feet. It is Walter Kirn's finest novel yet.
