A world-renowned criminal profiler takes an enchanting look at probably the most tragic mysteries in history.

For more than two thousand years, the great pharaoh Cleopatra VII has been portrayed as a failed monarch. Quite a lot of ancient sources state that she desperately ended her life with the bite of an asp, as her nemesis – the Roman general Octavian, later referred to as Augustus, the first Roman emperor – stormed Alexandria. Now, a fully unique interpretation of history is delivered to light by world-renowned criminal profiler Pat Brown in her new myth-busting book, The Murder of Cleopatra.

As host and profiler of The Mysterious Death of Cleopatra (Discovery 2005), Brown challenged the long-enduring myth that Cleopatra died via snakebite and that she committed suicide to keep away from further humiliation. The use of the techniques and methodology of investigative criminal profiling and crime reconstruction, The Murder of Cleopatra takes up where the Discovery Channel documentary left off. Brown’s findings, borne of scientific method, rigorous inquiry, and deductive reasoning, will be revealed against a historical backdrop of mystery, drama, politics, danger, and romantic intrigue.

The result: a thought-provoking analysis of the amazing woman Cleopatra in point of fact used to be, an enchanting account of the queen’s final desperate attempt to escape Egypt with her ships and treasure, and the brutal homicide that ended her life as the last Egyptian pharaoh.
