What to expect
‘Five-star turbo-charged, non-stop action thriller… It reads like a movie reel… Needs to be on every thrill seeker’s reading list’ NetGalley review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Don’t miss the next instalment of the Joe Mason series, from million-copy bestselling author David Leadbeater.
Can he uncover their deadly conspiracy before they find him first?
When ex-MI5 operative Joe Mason gets a call from the Vatican, he knows it is bad news. Marduk, crazed leader of The Amori cult, has escaped from a fortress-like prison in Milan, and he's hell-bent on revenge. His target? None other than Joe Mason himself.
Fuelled by an unrelenting hatred for Mason, Marduk launches a burning vendetta: to not only destroy his nemesis but annihilate the very foundations of the church itself.
As the cult’s sadistic assassins close in, Joe and his team embark on a treacherous pursuit of Marduk across Europe in a life-or-death race against time to unravel his conspiracy.
Both Joe and Marduk are out for blood – and in this game, it’s winner takes all. But can Mason and his team uncover the plot in time? And who will strike first in a battle that can leave only one person standing?
Fans of Lee Child, Clive Cussler and Dan Brown will love this adrenaline-filled and action-packed adventure.
