The Lost Throne – by Chris Kuzneski

An ancient monastery in an isolated part of central Greece – surrounded by nothing but the towering cliffs - and the hour of midnight। What does that bring to your mind? An ocean of peace and tranquility? You are wrong! A group of highly trained warriors manages to break into the inaccessible Holy Trinity and sends the monks hurtling down the cliffs – after beheading them mercilessly. What were the monks protecting?

In another part of the world, a billionaire is terrified for his life because he has found something that is guarded by people who will go to any length to protect it। Will he be able to outwit them or will he be the next one to take the secret to his grave – his early grave?

Jonathan Payne and David Jones are on vacation, totally unaware of how their lives are going to be linked to the dead monks and the terrified billionaire who is on the run to save his life।

If it hasn’t sounded interesting so far, ask Google about “Metéora”, “Sparti” and “Heinrich Schliemann”. If that doesn’t make you reach out for Chris Kuzneski’s “The Lost Throne”, I will eat my hat (थौघ I don’t wear one!). A must-read for those of us who thrive on ancient mysteries!
