Original written in 1937, at a time when Christie was also writing Death on the Nile, this Christie play was not published until 1973, when it was published by Collins in the UK and Dodd, Mead and Company in the US. Set in Ancient Egypt it follows the exploits f Pharaoh Akhnaton, his mysteriously beautiful wife Nefertiti and his successor, Tutankhaton (better know as Tutankhamun). Christie was, at the time she wrote the play, married to the leading British Egyptologist, Max Mallowan.
