Product Information

It was while there that the strangest experience took hold of him – the tunnel was dark; the end was bright. Peter James is a global bestselling author, best known for writing crime and thriller novels, and the creator of the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.

I could have preferred less description of what the various characters were eating, drinking and wearing. Pursuing Ross to LA are a contract killer who is eavesdropping on his hotel room, and several members of the pharmaceutical company. Accepting the challenge, Ross travelled to various places to pick up the “evidence” that Dr Cook had detailed him with.Peter James is a bestselling author who has written a tonne of books but this was my first time reading his work.

In Los Angeles he meets with a mysterious man whom we met very early in the story, and is vital to the plot. The characters are all believable, realistic and three-dimensional, and as with all the author's work, it is of quality. Being a tale that is eluding to the holy grail and so forth, it’s a storyline that’s extremely hard to tackle if you overthink it. I understand that it is a mythologized location but really, that is done to death now and shows a simple lack of imagination. Soon, Hunter is on a fraught odyssey that takes him from Glastonbury to the Middle East and America, his footsteps dogged by malign representatives of big pharma and some of the world’s most powerful religions.This retired professor claims to have absolute proof of God’s existence and asks that Ross does not simply dismiss him as a crazy person. When he is contacted by Dr Harry Cook who says he has proof that God exists Ross is obviously cynical, until they meet and he is given an original manuscript, of which there is only 1 copy.
