Thriller Arcane
A thrilling
and startling novel from the author of the international
bestseller The Genesis Secret
When
David Martinez, a young lawyer, receives an ancient map
from his dying grandfather, the mysteries of his past
begin to open up before him. The map leads David into the
heart of the dangerous Basque mountains, where a genetic
curse lies buried and a frightening secret about the
Western world's past is hidden.
Meanwhile, London
journalist Simon Quinn may have found his big break. A
wealthy, elderly woman has been murdered in the most
horrific fashion, and another homicide soon follows. Both
victims came from villages in the Basque region, both were
interred at a top-secret Nazi camp, both have been
silenced for what they know about the experiments
conducted on the Basques, the Jews, and a dwindling
mystical tribe of pre-Caucasian locals called Cagots.
From the North Sea islands to the Arizona desert,
from the graveyards of the Basque countryside to the heart
of colonial Africa, Martinez's and Quinn's quests
intersect to reveal the shocking roots of racial
persecution, human violence, and war.
The
Genesis Secret-already in its fourth hardcover
printing and appearing on several bestseller lists-
immediately established Tom Knox as a searing, brilliant
new voice in commercial fiction. The Marks of Cain
dares to raise the bar even higher and promises to be an
even greater success.
