5 CD (6 hours 12 minutes) audio book read by Laurel Lefkow: Naples,
1750. In the dead of the night, three men with swords burst into the
palazzo of a marquis. The intruders' leader, the Prince of San Severo,
accuses the marquis of being an imposter, and demands to know a secret
that he believes the man harbours. In the fight that ensues, the false
marquis escapes over the rooftops, leaving behind a burning palazzo and
a raging prince who is now obsessed with finding his quarry at any
cost.
Baghdad, 2003. An American army unit hunting down Saddam's
inner circle makes a horrifying discovery: a state-of-the-art,
concealed lab where dozens - men, woman, children - have died after
enduring gruesome experiments. The mysterious scientist they were
after, a man believed to be working on a bioweapons program and known
only as the hakeem - the doctor - escapes, taking with him the
startling truth about his work. A puzzling clue is left behind, crudely
carved into the wall of one of the underground prison's cells: a
circular symbol of a snake feeding on its own tail.
So begins
Raymond Khoury's explosive new novel, placing two bold women at the
centre of the action as they get caught up in a murderous trail of
ancient clues. Ripped from the history books and coupled with
cutting-edge science, THE SANCTUARY delivers even more of the brilliant
mystery and rapid-fire suspense that made Khoury's debut novel, THE
LAST TEMPLAR, a Sunday Times, New York Times and #1 international
bestseller.
