From the thriller writer, Glenn
Cooper, whose books have sold six million copies and have
been top-ten bestsellers, comes a novel which draws on the
author's background in medicine and archaeology to create a
riveting page-turner.
Abbey of Ruac, rural France - A medieval script is
discovered hidden behind an antique bookcase. Badly damaged,
it is sent to Paris for restoration, and there literary
historian Hugo Pineau begins to read the startling
fourteenth-century text. Within its pages lies a fanciful
tale of a painted cave and the secrets it contains - and a
rudimentary map showing its position close to the abbey.
Intrigued, Hugo enlists the help of archaeologist Luc Simard
and the two men go exploring.
When they discover a vast network of prehistoric caves,
buried deep within the cliffs, they realize that they've
stumbled across something extraordinary. And at the very
core of the labyrinth lies the most astonishing chamber of
all, just as the manuscript chronicled. But as they begin to
unlock the ancient secrets the cavern holds, they find
themselves at the centre of a dangerous game. One
'accidental' death leads to another. And it seems that
someone will stop at nothing to protect the enigma of the
tenth chamber.
