I bought this book having read Sam Christer's previous Stonehenge Legacy. I was not disappointed. In fact, I couldn't put it down. Not only it the story gripping with unexpected twists and turns along the way, its also a really interesting read. I look forward to the next book from this author.

Having read the existing reviews "yes" there is a monk in this book (which has clearly drawn parallels with the Da Vinci Code) - but otherwise, NOT the same.
This book initially centres around The Creeper - a serial killer who quotes latin scripture and then binds his mutilated victims in sheets. It's only when The Creeper is found to have murdered someone involved in a screenplay about the Shroud that the police start to dig into the Shroud's background.
Apart from the fact that the Shroud is reputed to be a Da Vinci fake I don't see how this book could be viewed as a poor mans DVC.
At the end of the day there are only so many plot variations to a thriller / romance / vampire novel etc etc - but a story well told can overcome any plot similarities. I'd recommend it.

Could have been so much better....
I really wanted to love this. I enjoy "easy reading" escapism, but this felt very empty. Those comparing this to Dan Brown are deluding themselves. Read more

I looked forward to Sam Christers second outing as his first was very very good. This on the other hand is so disapointing. Read more

Fun piece of escapism
Having enjoyed Sam's debut (The Stonehenge Conspiracy) I was eager to see what he'd hit back with in his second story as to be honest its usually this one that can make or break an... Read more
