Format:Paperback
I have just read this and two other Ken McClure books and can't believe that this guy isn't more famous.
This is a real murder mystery in the old fashioned sense with a 'supernatural' twist - though perhaps even that choice of word can be debated!!! Are the patients suffering from some wierd brain tumour remembering past lives lived or are they suffering from a disease induced schizophrenia and how come they seem to know about things and places that occurred 1000's of years ago?
As the previous poster says, rogue priests chasing around in the hunt for some old christian artefacts leads the hero to discover some shocking goings on with fatal results!!!
This book is not only a fast paced page turner (you won't be able to put it down), but it has some unusual twists coupled with some intelligent information and scientific data that will stimulate as well as interest any reader who likes a bit thought to go with his book.

Format:Paperback
A tense, fast-paced thriller with lives being ruined along the way. This novel is a brilliant read with interesting characters and a thrilling plot that races you through a world of revenge, lies and a battle for power.

I read this novel over 24 hours because, despite it being Christmas and the busiest time of year for me, I quite simply could not put it down. The main character is a neuro-surgeon who, while investigating the effects that follow from the removal of a malignant brain tumour in one of his patients, finds himself drawn into highly dangerous territories. This brilliant story line has believable characters, atmospheric settings in Edinburgh and Malta, a mad priest, some love interest and a good helping of paranormal psychology. I am certainly going to down-load more of Ken McClures novels...look out for more reviews.

You know what you're getting with a Ken McClure yarn. A well thought out plot, with plenty of twists and turns, edge of your seat reading. And this is up to his usual standard. Read more

I have to agree with the other reviews. This is edging into the over done territories. shallow detective/ historical/ religious myth or legend exposed or unearthed. Read more
