The End of Eden by Jay Stringer

A ROGUE ARCHAEOLOGIST. A NAZI PLOT. THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

Marah Chase has everything she wants. Her academic career is back on track, she's moved into a Manhattan apartment, and a dream job is waiting at the American Museum of Natural History. So why can't she seem to stop slipping into her old ways, traveling the world in search of lost relics and buried treasure?

Back out in the field, Chase finds the lost Ark of the Covenant, a discovery that could trigger a holy war, as religions and nations argue over ownership of the sacred item. The Ark also brings Chase into conflict with another legendary relic runner, August Nash, and the clash between them is one the entire underground smuggling community has been waiting for - the two best in the field going head-to-head.

Upon returning home, Chase is hired by US soda billionaire Lauren Stanford to find the Fountain of Youth. At first, Chase dismisses this idea. But then Stanford tells her that an old friend found some information on the Fountain's location and is now missing. Chase agrees to take the job - but only to find her friend - and enlists allies along the way on a trail from New York to London and then on to Glasgow. But the Fountain turns out to be a smokescreen, covering a much older legend, and Chase finds herself in a race to find Eden before Nash and a team of Nazis. Whoever gets there first will have control over the future of humanity.

The End of Eden is a tense, exciting, and epic adventure novel, spanning three continents and broadening the world of the Marah Chase series, placing Chase in a unique position to confront questions of identity, faith, imperialism, and appropriation.

Perfect for fans of Scott Mariani, James Rollins, Andy McDermott and Janet Evanovich.

Jay Stringer is a therapist, clergyman, and researcher who helps people break free from undesirable sexual behavior (e.g., pornography, infidelity, and purchasing sex) by assisting them in understanding the particular reasons that lead them to it in the first place. Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Shows Our Path to Healing, his debut book, is based on a multi-year study of over 3,800 men and women. Unwanted sexual activity is not random, according to the findings. The aspects of our story that have yet to be addressed form and predict it. Stringer hopes that the study, which is one of the most extensive on the issue, will enable people to achieve freedom in ways they haven't been equipped before.

He graduated from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology with a MDiv and a master's degree in counseling psychology.
