The Apocalypse Fire
Про цю електронну книгу
An archaeologist and ex-spy goes toe to toe with a Russian cult for the fate of the world in this international adventure thriller.
When the Turin Shroud is stolen in a violent assault, archaeologist and former spy Ava Curzon is plunged into a desperate struggle against the leader of an apocalyptic Russian cult. Recruited by the UK’s clandestine MI13 intelligence agency—and aided by the Vatican’s security division and her former colleague Ferguson—Ava is sucked into a world of dark extremism and Biblical secrets.
As the chase catapults her around Europe, she must unravel the mysteries of an ancient icon belonging to the shadowy Order of Malta. With time running out, and cataclysmic war in the Middle East the price of failure, the world stands on the brink . . .
Perfect for readers of Dan Brown and Scott Mariani
