A high-stakes thriller which weaves Turkey’s war-torn past with action, adventure and conspiracy.

A TERRIFYING ATTACK
Southern Turkey. Business intelligence operative Iain Black, having survived the hotel bombing that killed his friend and partner, vows to find out who was responsible – then make them pay.

A PAST THAT WON’T STAY BURIED
Historian Karin Visser, who also lost friends in the blast, teams up with Iain to uncover secrets hidden deep within the region’s past, from the bloody division of Cyprus all the way back to the Trojan War.

AN EXPLOSIVE SECRET
Piecing the puzzle together, Iain and Karin discover the shocking conspiracy behind the blast. But now they’re running out of time to reveal it – before they’re silenced for good.

I’m not usually one for mysteries, but Adams makes it more than palatable by mixing it with archaeology, history, and myth. The Trojan War, and especially the fate of Aeneas, is especially interesting, so this story, relying on the mystery of Dido’s palace, is doubly so.

As usual with Adams’ books, it helps to be familiar with the history or myth on which a particular book is based, but it’s not a must. The author does a good job of bringing the reader up to speed. It transitions smoothly into the second plot line regarding the dividing of Cyrus between Greece and Turkey.

The book made an impression, and I may pick up his other stand-alone novel.
