City of Gold

City of Gold is the thrilling new novel from Anton Gill.

A rumour is going around the world that a vast source of gold has been discovered, if it's true it could mean the downfall of the US dominance over the financial world.

An international dealer in antique maps flies in to conclude the deal of his life. But at the meeting with his mysterious principals, he is double-crossed and murdered.

In New York INTERSEC Section 15 have been tasked by the US Treasury to find the gold and secure it for the US. But, for Jack Marlow and his team, the race to find the gold soon turns into a race to stay alive.

City of Gold and The Secret Scroll by Anton Gill make an exciting break away from his previous writing set in Ancient Egypt. Fans of Chris Kuzneski will love this.

Anton Gill was born in London and educated at Chigwell and Clare College, Cambridge. He has written on a wide range of subjects, especially contemporary European history, and published a series of thrillers set in Ancient Egypt. Until recently, he has divided his time between London and Paris, but now makes his home in London again.

The ending shocks.

This thriller was enthralling. I was completely surprised by the twist.

—— Good Housekeeping

A complex crime novel, it's expertly written and will hook you in from page one...Along the same lines as Gillian flynn's bestseller, Gone Girl, this is a must-read of 2014! Loved it from beginning to end!

—— Peterborough Telegraph, 10 star review

Intensely imagined

—— Sunday Times

Settings don’t come much more Gothic than Wreaking, the derelict, decaying...psychiatric hospital of James Scudamore’s striking third novel

—— Daily Mail

This is the work of a writer totally at ease with, and confident in, his powers. A wonderfully assured novel with scope and ambition and with enough of a mystery at its heart to keep the reader hooked till the end

—— We Love This Book

We are left with the characters in our heads for days, and the sense of unease that Scudamore cleverly conjures up

—— Press Association Syndication

A twisted, unsettling tale of family lies and lonely souls

—— Shortlist

An immersion in the physical and psychic ruins of a contemporary Britain which enchants and disturbs, lures and repels. The inner poetry and descriptive mastery of James Scudamore's Wreaking are riches which cannot be forgotten. If you only read one novel in coming times, make it this astonishing and deeply moving chronicle

—— Alan Warner

This is an impressive work from the critically acclaimed author of Heliopolis

—— Good Book Guide
