Publisher Description

Tom Knox, the best-selling author of The Genesis Secret, delivers a spine-tingling novel that "may well be the most controversial thriller since The Da Vinci Code" (Jeff Abbott). When David Martinez inherits an ancient map from his dying grandfather, the map-and the promise of two million dollars-leads David into the Basque heart of the treacherous Pyrenees. There a genetic curse and a frightening secret from the past lurk in the shadows. Soon David and a beautiful stranger are on the run from a vicious and relentless pursuer.

"This is another great read from this relatively new author - as far as I am concerned he is already one of my favourite writers - I love his style of narrative and find this story wonderfully well written and extremely exciting just falling slightly short of deserving 5 stars."

— Winnie (4 out of 5 stars)

    " It seemed a little fast paced and slightly everywhere at times. I did like all the facts in the book and found myself stopping frequently to search things I didn't know much about, so at least I learned something new from reading it. "

    " Very Da Vinci code, but that's not a bad thing. A good read that kept me gripped until the end. I do enjoy a book that twists real facts into a who-dunnit and this didn't disappoint. Okay for some parts you do have to just go with the flow and no question too much, but for a gripping read that you'll finish in a few days this does the job very nicely indeed :) "

    " The end of the novel reveals a far fetched plot. The bad guys in this book are to stereo-typically bad. This book reads well. Like the authors previous novel there are two story lines that are intertwined. "

    " By itself, this is a really good fast paced book, with a very interesting plotline. But, having read Tom Knox's first book, I'm wondering if they are all going to use the same formula for plot development? If so, they are going to start getting predictable. "

    " Overall, a good story, if a bit too long, a bit too violent and gory in parts, and a few too many 'the bad guy is going to kill me' moments. The author needs to learn to create tension without the villain being right on the verge of killing off the main character every chapter or two. "
