Format:Mass Market Paperback
FBI forensic artist, special agent Sydney Fitzpatrick knows an unusual crime when she sees one! Without giving too much away, we follow Sydney on her chase from Washington to Rome to the hidden chamber of a legendary tomb - another trail or is it a curse? Devastation may await. Read on this very unusual thriller that it well written, gripping and well within the boundaries of readable action adventure thrilling copy. A great improvement of others of this ilk and the details make it much more fascinating. I can never get enough of this genre but so often find mysef disappointed with the author's lack of country knowledge and history. This time it was excellent. Give this one a go! You will not be disappointed. The Bone Chamber

11 Jan 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
The Bone Chamber has more action packed into one book than you could ever imagine!
A list as long as your arm ...everyone gets a short spot in this story that is very much historical action packed and much like Indiana Jones meets DeVanci in the Vatican!
You begin knowing that this is a going to be a search for some artifax! But, you could never ever imagine all of the agencies that are picked up along the way.
Intriguring mystery, Sydney Fitzpatric is a frensic artist for the FBI, Despert for a long awaited vacation, she must miss the plane a dozen times?
Her search to help uncover the identy of a corpse that has no feats urers takes her on a complicated search for history and links to and from Rome, the Vatican, deep into crypt in Rome and Naples.
All the agencies that come to mind, FBI CIA Mafia figuers, black ops, international hit men, even questionable agencies, following
long standing rumors, ledgens and details rumored regarding the Vacatin, The Knights Templar, Freemassions, There all here! Plots
and sub plots! Glorious reading!
This is a well researched book, totally believable. I will leave it to the others to give names and characters and say to you if you love fast acting adventurers, crypts, ledgions, you will love this book, Looking forward to another by this author. It is a read again book.
Hope this has help in your selection.

3 1/2 stars for those who like conspiracy stories about the Freemasons, Templar Knights and other secret societies...
10 Jan 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
The Bone Chamber is yet another title that is reminiscent of the conspiracy and Templar Knights novels by Dan Brown, Steve Berry, Raymond Khoury et al. This action-packed thriller features FBI forensic artist Sydney Fitzpatrick in her second outing (after Face of a Killer) and is a romp through the city and the underground burial chambers of Rome as she and her cohorts try to foil a dastardly plot involving money and murder. Despite being advertised as such, this is not a book about the Catholic church keeping a secret from the world and the Vatican is only vaguely mentioned. It's more about a super secret agency, ATLAS, that is charged with protecting the world from a competing group of megalomaniacs who want to possess the treasure of the Templars, including a map that just might contain directions to the location of all the Biblical plagues of Moses -- the better to make a bio-weapon.
It is a bit long and drags in places; Sydney is annoying at intervals as she displays a lot of angst over trusting herself but repeatedly sticks her nose into the case long after being dismissed from her forensic duties. There are the typical mad car chases, escapes from certain death at the hands of the evil henchmen, and a harrowing scene in the underground burial chambers. A little romance with one of the ATLAS operatives is developing and the book ends with hints that there will be a sequel involving Griffin.
I might be tempted to check out the next book in the series. You don't have to read the first one to understand the characters or the plot of this novel as it can stand alone.

A Great that Ain't
23 Jan 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
As I write this review, my reflections vacillate. The main character rocks. She is strong, intelligent and resourceful. On the flip side, the reader must suspend belief in specific facts- the rules of gravity and motion do not apply to sections of this tome... and that irritated the snot out of me!
The bottom line is to chose The Bone Chamber for "escape reading." I loved the tension, flow and resolution within the telling of this tale. As a result, it is only good as a reading snack. Don't take it too seriously!
