Book description
A gripping high-concept thriller for fans of Dan Brown and Sam Bourne.
Now including a sample of The Babylon Rite, the new thriller from Tom Knox.
In the sunburnt deserts of eastern Turkey, archaeologists are
unearthing a stone temple, the world's most ancient building. When
Journalist Rob Luttrell is sent to report on the dig, he is intrigued to
learn that someone deliberately buried the site 10,000 years ago. Why?
Meanwhile, in London, a bizarre attack is baffling the police. When a
weird killing takes place on the Isle of Man, followed by another in
rural Dorset, DC Mark Forrester begins to discern a curious pattern in
these apparently random murders.
What weaves together these two stories is the Genesis Secret: a
revelation so shocking it may threaten the social structure of the
world. Only one man knows the secret, and he is intent on destroying the
evidence before it can be uncovered.
Spanning the globe from the ruined castles of Ireland to the desolate
wastes of Kurdistan, Tom Knox's intense and compelling thriller weaves
together genuine historical evidence, scientific insights and Biblical
mysteries into an electrifying tale that grips the reader mercilessly
from beginning to end. 'Steeped in both blood and history and keeps up
a scorching pace from start to finish' Northern Echo Tom Knox is the
pseudonym of the author Sean Thomas. Born in England, he has travelled
the world writing for many different newspapers and magazines, including
The Times, the Guardian, and the Daily Mail. His last book was a memoir,
translated into eight languages; he also writes on art, politics, and
ancient history. He lives in London.
