Dirk Pitt must fight another perilous battle in Clive Cussler's Atlantis Found.
An ancient cargo long thought lost is found. With terrible consequences . . .
Dirk Pitt is surveying in the Middle East when a stroke of luck reveals an Ottoman wreck with a very curious cargo. While investigating the find, he foils a night raid on Istanbul's Topkapi Palace Museum. This puts Pitt at the centre of a race to acquire a series of legendary artefacts.
Meanwhile, the region is being pushed to the brink of war by a series of explosions across Turkey and Egypt. Finding that his search for the artefacts is linked to the attacks, Pitt must prevent a deranged brother and sister's fanatical plans succeeding...
Packed with breathtaking suspense and fired by an extraordinary imagination, Crescent Dawn is a barnstorming read for all fans of action, suspense and intrigue. Crescent Dawn is the twenty-first of Clive Cussler's bestselling Dirk Pitt novels - the series that also includes Inca Gold and, his first novel,Mayday - co-authored with his son Dirk Cussler, in which hero Dirk Pitt finds himself caught between artefacts and fanatics.

—— New York TimesJohn Harvey is not just a fine crime novelist but a fine writer, and an adornment to his chosen genre. I devoured Good Bait in a day, and defy any reader to do otherwise.Great stuff.
—— John ConnollyJohn Harvey returns in resounding form … Terrific plot and, in Karen Shields, a splendid new heroine.
—— Marcel Berlins , The TimesIntricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural.
—— Laura Wilson , GuardianJohn Harvey shows he is one of the best crime writers around: perhaps even Britain's answer to the great Elmore Leonard
—— Mail on SundayGood Bait proves that John Harvey is always prepared to tackle something new and ambitious.
—— Barry Forshaw , IndependentHarvey really does have his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the criminal underworld and some of the more deprived areas of London. There's a real sense, not just of what's happening, but of why it's happening and where there are gaps in the net. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
