Crescent Dawn

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.

Praise for Clive Cussler:

'No holds barred adventure ... a souped-up treat' Daily Mirror

'Frightening and full of suspense ... unquestionably entertaining' Daily Express

Reviews

Not since George Orwell has the condition of being down-and-out been so well recorded

—— New York Times

John 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 Connolly

John Harvey returns in resounding form … Terrific plot and, in Karen Shields, a splendid new heroine.

—— Marcel Berlins , The Times

Intricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural.

—— Laura Wilson , Guardian

John Harvey shows he is one of the best crime writers around: perhaps even Britain's answer to the great Elmore Leonard

—— Mail on Sunday

Good Bait proves that John Harvey is always prepared to tackle something new and ambitious.

—— Barry Forshaw , Independent

Harvey 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.

What makes this book and John Harvey stand out is the writing and the characters... If you love crime you've got to read John Harvey.
