What is the setting of The Egyptologist by Arthur Phillips?

Set in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt, Ralph's find becomes the primary surroundings in which he goes insane and commits murder. Ralph transforms a series of empty rooms with only one containing unfinished columns from a dry hole to a tomb fit for a madman. He paints hieroglyphs and scenes all through the rooms and on the columns. He furnishes the rooms with objects, a dead cat and a dead man, both wrapped like mummies. He finishes his demented work of art with his own body wrapped in linen and doused with deadly chemicals.
