Synopsis
Sometimes trouble just follows a man!
When ex-SAS operative Ben Hope decided to give up his life rescuing kidnap victims and return to the Theology studies he abandoned years before, he should have known that fate would decide differently. When his old professor begs him to find his missing daughter, the wild and wayward biblical archaeologist Zoë Bradbury, Ben soon finds himself saddled with his most dangerous mission yet.
What is the ancient biblical secret that Zoë uncovered? And who will stop at nothing to protect it?
As Ben’s quest leads him from the Greek Islands to the American Deep South and the holy city of Jerusalem, he comes to realise that it’s not just his and Zoë’s lives on the line, but those of millions. The stakes are unimaginably high as he finds himself racing to prevent a terrible disaster that could kick-start nothing less than the End Times foretold by the Book of Revelation…
Praise
‘A fascinating and somewhat topical storyline. This novel would make for an excellent, tension-filled, nail-biting movie!’
—Euro Crime
‘A fast-paced arcane thriller that will captivate readers with its plot evolution and characterization. Readers will be on the edge of their seats.’
—Fresh Fiction
‘A riveting adventure that creatively weaves a storyline through ancient history and modern times.’
—Mysterious Reviews
‘Simply thrilling… If you like Dan Brown you will like all of Scott Mariani’s work – but you will like it better. This guy knows exactly how to bait his hook, cast his line and reel you in, nice and slow. The heart-stopping pace and clever, cunning, joyfully serpentine tale will have you frantic to reach the end, but reluctant to finish such a blindingly good read! Go out and get this book. You’ll love it.’
—The Bookbag
‘Head and shoulders over other novels of the same ilk… The ending is a showstopper and 100% satisfying. You know you are rooting for the guy when he does something so cool you do a mental fist punch in the air and have to bite the inside of your mouth not to shout out ‘YES!’ in case you get arrested on the train. Awesome thrilling stuff.’
—My Favourite Books
‘Pure addictive reading… never have I enjoyed a book so much and I did not want it to end.’
—Amazon reviewer
‘Scott Mariani’s latest page-turning rollercoaster of a thriller takes the sort of conspiracy theory that made Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code an international hit, and gives it an injection of steroids … [Mariani] is a master of edge-of-the-seat suspense. A genuinely gripping thriller that holds the attention of its readers from the first page to the last and establishes Hope and Mariani as major new figures within the genre.’
