Hunting the King
The race to uncover the most prized archaeological find of all time: the tomb of Jesus Christ.
Peter Clenott
Cloth hardcover 6x9” | Pages 384 | Fiction/Thriller US$ 24.95 / CDN$ 26.95 | ISBN 9781601641489
Amid the chaos of the 2003 Iraqi invasion, American archaeologist and biblical expert Molly O’Dwyer hunts for the tomb of Jesus. Molly, derisively called Cindy-Anna Jones by rivals, embarks on her action-packed adventure with the U.S. military, Iraqi fighters, and a slew of other antagonists on her trail. Molly is sure to become a beloved, if provocative, heroine, combining the brain of an ambitious, questioning scientist with a deeply spiritual and loving heart.
- “An intelligent debut about the race to uncover the most prized archaeological find of all time ... Like The Da Vinci Code, Hunting the King is based on the premise that Jesus had a child by Mary Magdalene ... Clenott manages to create a story that is entertaining and wholly his own.” —ForeWord
- “A very readable thriller ... Da Vinci Code-like draw of this compelling variation on the familiar theme of a lost artifact that could change the world. Fans of intellectual thrillers and historical fiction will find a worthy new voice in Clenott. With the ease of a seasoned novelist ... Clenott manages to create a story that is entertaining and wholly his own.” —Booklist
