The Magdalene Cipher by Jim Hougan
A stunning international thriller of psychology and conspiracy, espionage and prophecy, history and suspense. After someone he has under surveillance is slaughtered - literally - CIA agent Jack Dunphy is ordered to leave London immediately and return to the US, where he is dumped into a tedious desk job that seems calculated to make him quit. Determined to learn why, Dunphy uses all his CIA tradecraft on the agency that has turned against him - and discovers the fragments of a story that seems too wild to be true, providing him with evidence of a conspiracy that goes back to the time of Christ, a conspiracy so vast and deep and old that the CIA itself is but a cover for it. Embroiled in a plot far more elaborate than he ever could have imagined, with players too powerful and consequences too deadly, Dunphy must uncover the shocking truth - or die trying...Praise for John Case:
The Murder Artist
'John Case's sure hand and deep understanding of the visceral terrors of the situation.. a convincing thriller which grips the heart and gut with equal force' Guardian
'Deep in Harlen Coben territory... Scary, compulsive stuff.' Independent on Sunday
The Genesis Code
'A sizzling thriller... well-written and extremely gripping' Daily Mail
'Cracks along... more than enough murder, mayhem and scientific mystery to keep the reader entertained' Sunday Telegraph
