Summary
Summary
On the trail of the lost Dead Sea Scrolls, archaeologist Daniel Knox stumbles upon a theft in progress at an ancient temple near Alexandria. Then a senior Egyptian archaeologist is violently killed, and the finger of suspicion points at Knox himself. To add to his mounting worries, his partner Gaille Bonnard is kidnapped while showing a television crew around the ruins of Amarna. She manages to smuggle out a message, pleading with Knox to rescue her, but he's locked in a police cell on suspicion of murder hundreds of miles away. His only hope of clearing his name and saving Gaille is to crack one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world...before it's too late.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
The suspenseful action allows Colacci to demonstrate his facility with accents and well-cadenced pacing…. Listeners will feel like they're following Knox's investigation as it happens. —AudioFile
“The Alexander Cipher is a razor-edged thriller that delves deeply into crumbling tombs and ancient secrets. Explosively paced and tautly told, the book demands to be read in one sitting.” —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Oracle, praise for the Alexander Cipher
“David Colacci ’s empathetic and fluid narration style reflects the story’s emotional highs and lows as Knox learns that he’s on the hook for a friend’s murder, his partner s been kidnapped, and someone is trying to kill him. The suspenseful action allows Colacci to demonstrate his facility with accents and well-cadenced pacing. His reading brings out the best in a crackling adventure tale involving Nefertiti, Moses, and a hoax that may have some basis in truth.” —AudioFile
“Adams clearly demonstrates the imagination and the storytelling prowess necessary to compete with the established veterans. Fans of thrillers that take readers deep into the past should be enthusiastically urged to read this novel.” —Booklist
