Michael Cole, a wonderful storyteller, keeps you in suspense, and emotionally involved in each character. An enjoyable read. --Gail TerHaar, Burton, Michigan

From the Publisher

Michael Cole's third mystery novel, Secrets of El Tovar Canyon, puts a new twist on the age-old questions: How old is the Sphinx? Who were the architects of the pyramids? The traditional theory that the pharaohs built the great monuments four thousand years ago is shattered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating Story, August 5, 2009

This review is from: Secrets of El Tovar Canyon (Paperback)

Michael Cole's new book, Secrets of El Tovar Canyon, is a captivating story of the "aliens have visited earth" theme found often in American literature. However, Cole's creative angle and more believable plot involves the pyramids of Egypt and El Tovar Canyon on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, Arizona. Cole's writing is direct and not convoluted. His character's are vivid and interesting in and of themselves. The book is a quick read with short chapters and it held my interest throughout a round-trip flight from LAX to Detroit. Some movie director--like Steven Spielberg--could develop a good and profitable movie out of Cole's story.
