Ark of Blood - Arkane Thrillers J F Penn Hardback edition

A desperate race to find the Ark of the Covenant - and save the world from a devastating Holy War. 


Cairo, Egypt. When the curator of the Museum of Antiquities is slaughtered in a horrific ritual by a group wearing the masks of Ancient Egyptian deities, local authorities ask for help from ARKANE, the agency tasked with investigating religious and paranormal events. Then, in Washington DC, a decapitated Arab body is discovered. The head is placed on the replica Ark of the Covenant along with a chilling message that warns of a terrifying escalation of violence in the Middle East.

ARKANE agent, British-Israeli psychologist Dr Morgan Sierra, must race against time to uncover the real Ark - aware that her nemesis, the vicious mercenary Natasha, is also in the hunt and out for bloody revenge. Morgan travels across Egypt and Jordan, retracing the steps of the Biblical Exodus and following a trail of clues that takes her into the mists of history - and mortal danger...

The third novel in the bestselling ARKANE series, ARK OF BLOOD is a pulse-pounding thriller filled with puzzles, adventure and excitement, asking serious questions about the nature of religion...and the beliefs that lie at the very heart of humankind.
