The bestselling, pulse-pounding archaeological thriller that's a must-listen for all fans of Dan Brown and Clive Cussler.

A journalist is murdered in Jerusalem’s Armenian Cathedral and Detective Arieh Ben-Roi is spoilt for leads. But one seems out of place – an apparent link to a decades-old missing persons case in Egypt. Baffled, Ben-Roi turns for help to his old friend and sparring partner, Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor Police.

Although struggling with personal tragedy and immersed in a case of his own – mysterious well poisonings in the Eastern Desert – Khalifa agrees to do some digging. What he discovers will change both men’s lives for ever.

As their investigations intertwine, the detectives are drawn ever deeper into a sinister web of violence, abuse, corporate malpractice and international terrorism. And at its heart lies a three thousand year-old mystery that has already taken two lives, and will soon be claiming more…

Having read or listened to all of author Paul Sussman's previous books I was really looking forward to this one and it certainly did not disappoint.

An intriguing fast paced story with many twists and turns - a thoroughly good listen and I highly recommend it!

Excellent!

This is utterly gripping mystery thriller which also manages to pull at your heart strings at so many levels. It is best read after reading the earlier books in the series. I have enjoyed this tale more than I have enjoyed any for quite a while. A true must read.

I have not read / heard books of this author and am glad I found this one. Most thriller/ detective stories are fairly predictable, this is not. It has a theme that is different, modern and thought provoking in many different ways. I recommend it without reservation.

Enjoyable and different

I have always been in two minds about Paul Sussman. He has the ability to grip from the beginning; his canvas spreads across the Middle East both ancient and modern and his knowledge of the area, it's customs, people and history oozes from the story. He tells epic tales in a way that, in the main, urges the reader/listener unrelentingly to the end. I absolutely adore his characters, especially Inspector Khalifa. On the other hand his novels can be too real for the reader/listener who is after some simple escapism. He deals unrelentingly and, to my mind, with too much detail with topics such as, children's deaths, prostitution and rape. The level of swearing by the main characters might put some off. There are areas where he lets himself down by lazy writing. There is too much reliance on coincidence and his protagonists consistently put themselves in positions of peril through sheer bloodymindedness. Having said the above I have read all of his novels and would have continued to do so but for his early death - the brilliance outshines the flaws. The narration of this talking book is excellent. Gordon Griffiths copes extremely well with dialogue with different accents without letting any of them slip.

Brilliant but flawed
