Bøger af Robert Hodgson

An intelligent, lightening-paced thriller set on two continents and within the hidden chambers of Marquette university, the majestic library of a Venice monastery, and the underground keep of the Heidelberg castle. With twists at every turn, the story sends smart and gutsy graduate students Tom and Chiara on a hunt for a biblical papyrus that turns the gender of Jesus and the foundation of Christianity upside down. Sinister forces within the Vatican lurk in the shadows, waiting for a chance to steal the book from the young couple. Failing to get their hands on the book they send an assassin-a femme fatale- to kill the couple and their young child. When the young sleuths finally get their hands on the papyrus, they discover that its explosive message puts them in even graver danger. As the Vatican killers close in, Tom and Chiara must choose between bringing a staggering new secret to light or destroying the writing. Impossible to put down, the Androgyne Papyrus series, interweaves history and mystery with love, loyalty, and betrayal. Packed with historical events and non-stop action, readers will be burning through pages late into the night.
