Born in Wales in 1943, Michael Marfleet spent his entire professional career working in many parts of the world as a geologist in the petroleum exploration business. In 2002 he retired and turned to writing.
“This novel has fulfilled my wish to write some fitting epitaph to the unique and immensely fruitful life story of Howard Carter. We are fortunate it fell to him to discover the tomb of Tutankhamun. This novel is in deep appreciation of his consistent and unflinching efforts. In this his British contemporaries had failed him.”
