Summary

An unmissable thriller from the master of the genre

An unsolved historical mystery. A brutal bomb attack.

Only one man can track down the killers that link them both.

It’s 2005: Ben Hope, recently retired from the military, is living in Ireland and using his SAS skills to find and rescue missing children.

But when asked to take on the case of two boys who disappeared centuries ago, he walks away, little realising he’s lit a fuse that will not only destroy the life of someone he cares about, but also lead him on a journey that proves old secrets come with a very modern price.

Ben must follow the trail across Europe, unravelling the mystery and dodging bullets as only he can. As the death toll ramps up, what is the connection between a murdered history professor, an English lord and a pretender to the Tudor throne – and can Ben find out the truth before the killers make him their next victim?

Critic reviews

‘A high level of realism…the action scenes come thick and fast. Like the father of the modern thriller, Frederick Forsyth, Mariani has a knack for embedding his plots in the fears and preoccupations of their time.’ Shots Magazine

‘History, action, devious scheming and eye-opening detail. Mariani delivers a twisting storyline.’ David Leadbeater

fantastic as always

it was just a chance conversation I overheard at a table round a table of books being given away for free...a gentleman picked up a book and said I follow this writer Scott Mariani and his character Ben Hope the book was the Babylon Idol...I immediately downloaded the book on Audible and from there I was hooked....I then started from book 1 and I've now just finished book 28...i was impressed that Scott went intobthe past for this story i hope he dirs this more as Ben isnt getting younger...so now going to listen to a couple of the Ben Hope shorter stories and I'm looking forward to the Gooden Library coming out in May.....thank you Scott Mariani for giving us Ben Hope...keep.them coming

Ben Hope is the best!

Thoroughly enjoyable. A great story with lots happening and it’s well paced. Ben Hope is the best & I’m already impatient for the next adventure. Well narrated by Colin Mace. Top marks all around.

Prequel idea

What a intriguing concept to take us back to BH’s initial life & sets a good story line interwoven with historical fact’ making it conspiratorially enjoyable
