Book Description

Publication Date: June 7, 2010

1942. Entrenched in the searing sands of Libya, a group of soldiers uncover a tomb. Buried in the ancient dust they find a macabre crown of thorns and the devastatingly powerful Spear of Destiny. They've discovered the last resting place of Christ. 2002 Gerald Usherwood and his old army pal Max Chippendale reunite to trade stories and spread Christmas cheer. But dark shadows visit the old friends in the dead of night and make them pay the ultimate price for the secrets they stole. Gerald's grandson, DCI Ethan Usherwood, is left to piece together the mystery behind the killings and to uncover the treasure they kept hidden for so many years. A desperate hunt for the ultimate truth, "Spear of Destiny" is undeniably Daniel Easterman's most powerful thriller to date.

Review

'Stylish, shattering and spellbinding' VAL McDERMID 'Easterman has a string of taut, exotically plotted, international thrillers to his credit - laced with historical and mythological reference...satisfactorily embroidered with bullet holes and bloodshed' THE TIMES

This review is from: Spear of Destiny (Paperback)

I have all of Daniel Easterman"s books ... what could I say about this latest.

They have all been so different .. as with this lastest it keeps one on the edge

when reading .. you want to put it down, but want to pick it up again.

If you have not read any of his books, you have missed much

Looking forward to his next one.
