About this ebook

AN ANCIENT CODE

A clay tablet covered in ancient writing is found by an English couple in Morocco. A day later they are dead, killed in a car crash. But where is the relic they died to protect?

A SINISTER SECRET

Determined to uncover a secret that's endured for two millennia, Chris Bronson follows a trail of clues that lead him from the hustle of a Moroccan souk to the deserted caves of Qumran; from the sinister echoes of a water-filled tunnel under the city of Jerusalem to a windswept fortress whose name spells death.

A DEADLY CHASE FOR THE TRUTH ...

Threatened on every side by violent extremists, Bronson is plunged into a mystery rooted in biblical times. For the stone he must find is older and far more dangerous than he could ever have imagined ...

Ratings and reviews

I'd rather see it in a movie LOL. There're so many characters, so many names that I lost track. Those are not easy names to remember. There're multiple parties looking for a relic hence the complication. Some passages were very dry. The self-finance treasure finding adventure is not very convincing.

Impossible to put down. The use of existing places, and the way the story is woven around historical sites, makes this book impossible to stop reading. I looooove this author's method of story telling.

Would make a good film. An easy exciting read.
