After watching Mr. and Mrs. Gendron get manhandled and
intimidated by an overeager potential buyer of their home --
never mind that they had no intention to sell, Cameron
Thorne thought he was just doing a minor favor to strangers
when he offered them his expertise as a lawyer. The
situation quickly devolved from a friendly gesture to
injury, murder and a run for his life, all while trying to
decode ancient secrets and staying ahead of several secret
organizations.
For a novel about American antiquities, mysteries and
secret codes, a comparison to THE DA VINCI CODE and
NATIONAL TREASURE is inevitable. However, Brody's CABAL OF
THE WESTFORD KNIGHT, replete with photographs and diagrams,
stands on its own mettle as a definitive work of historical
fiction. Though immersed in historic information, the novel
does not feel like a textbook on alternate theories of the
discovery of New England. Instead, the story rips the
reader into a fast-paced adventure in which each site acts
as a clue. The characters are believable and none attempts
to pedantically lecture to the reader. The style is
likable, as well as riveting, and the information is
presented in an interesting manner.
A modern-day mystery novel rooted in recently-discovered
ancient artifacts left by Templar Knights during a secret
mission to North America in 1398. Attorney Cameron Thorne
is thrust into a bloody tug-of-war involving secret
societies, treasure hunters and keepers of the secrets of
the Jesus bloodline. There is no shortage of people
willing to maim and murder to prevent Cam from uncovering
the shocking truths behind this ancient Templar mission.
Joined by Amanda, a beautiful British researcher with
secrets of her own, Cam races around New England with only
two choices-unravel the 600-year-old mysteries encoded in
the ancient artifacts, or die trying.
