Following the murder of his wife, ex-SAS operative Ben Hope
blames himself and is contemplating suicide. When he can't
go through with it, he decides to return Oxford and his
theology studies. Soon after arriving, he's approached by
one of his old professors and friend, Tom Bradbury, and
asked to locate the man's archeologist daughter, Zoe, who's
missing from the Greek island of Corfu. Ben is not
interested in returning to that life, so he enlists the aid
of a former SAS agent, Charlie Palmer, who needs the work.
Charlie soon runs into more trouble than he can handle
alone, so Ben ends up on Corfu looking for the missing
party girl. A chain of events leaves Ben furious as he
tracks down Zoe and the religious artifact she supposedly
has found. Could it have something to do with the Book of
Revelation and what Evangelical Christians worldwide claim
is the upcoming End Times? A lot of people think so, which
is the reason Zoe has been taken hostage.
Ben Hope is hell-bent in his quest to find Zoe and the
artifact, but the truths he uncovers might be more than he --
or anyone -- can handle.
A fast-paced arcane thriller that will captivate readers
with its plot evolution and characterization.
From the author of The Mozart Conspiracy, Scott
Mariani’s newest international thriller raises the stakes
as Ben Hope returns to prevent an attack of biblical
proportions.
Still reeling from a devastating personal loss, ex-SAS
operative and hero-for-hire Ben Hope has decided to put
down his gun for good and return to the theology studies he
had abandoned years ago. When his professor and friend asks
him to help find his missing daughter, archeologist Zoe
Bradbury, Ben declines, but puts his former SAS buddy,
Charlie Palmer, on the case.
But when Charlie runs into trouble on the Greek island of
Corfu, Ben reluctantly joins him to find out what might have
happened to Zoe. Ben has no idea he’s just embarked on the
most dangerous mission of his life.
As Ben investigates on Corfu, he realizes that ZoË’s most
recent archeological discovery of an artifact related to the
Book of Revelation is at the heart of her disappearance.
What is the ancient secret that ZoË uncovered? And just who
is willing to do anything to protect it? The investigation
leads Ben from the Greek islands to Savannah, Georgia, and
the holy city of Jerusalem, and he soon discovers that it’s
not just ZoË’s life on the line.
Readers will be on the edge of their seats as Ben Hope
battles to prevent a deadly end-of-days attack, staged by
those hell bent on gaining political power at any cost.
