Author : Chris Kuzneski (SIGN OF THE CROSS)


SIGN OF THE CROSS


Personal rating : 4.5/5
Read it , and bought it for collection.
The suspense just keeps building up pages by pages. But christians might not like it. Y? reason being the plot revolves around murder, crucifications and finding out if Jesus is all but faked by the ancient Romans. Murders and orders for assassination are sent out to deter the investigation. Love it or hate it. This is one of the best thriller around to keep you glue to your seat. A must have, glad i got it into my collection for just 5 bucks. I can re-read it many times more without getting bored.

The first victim is abducted in Italy then crucified over a
thousand miles away. The next day, the same crime
is repeated — this time in Asia and Africa.
Three different continents but one brutal pattern:
someone is reenacting the execution of Christ.

While visiting Spain, Jonathon Payne and David Jones
are arrested for crimes they committed during their
military careers. Fortunately, the CIA brokers a deal on
their behalf: all charges will be dropped if they help
catch Dr. Charles Boyd, a master thief who has stolen
some of the finest treasures in Europe.

With little choice, the duo begins their pursuit, only to
realize that Boyd is more than a criminal. He is one
of the world’s top experts on Ancient Rome and is
close to making a discovery that threatens to rewrite
the basic foundations of Christianity.

From its breathtaking beginning to its mind-blowing
conclusion, expect the unexpected with Sign of the Cross.

Crime Squad (United Kingdom)—
“In SIGN OF THE CROSS, Chris Kuzneski has created an entirely original world-view and tells us an extraordinary tale with one hell of a sting to it. He writes like a dream and his thriller style is nigh on flawless. Indeed, the author has created a page-turning style that older thriller pros would give up serious appendages to perfect.”

Claudia VanLydegraf, MyShelf.com—
“I could say Kuzneski is the next Dan Brown but then that would be simply lumping him into a category and leaving him there. Kuzneski doesn’t deserve that lumping and leaving. He has so much going for him that it is really difficult to say how impressed I am with this young author. . . This book is too good to put down and too interesting to want to finish. I have reviewed several of this type of book lately, and sincerely found this one to be the one that I will remember and look back on.”
