Let David Lynn Golemon thrill you with Legend from the magnificent Event Group series.
BURIED FOR CENTURIES, THE VATICAN'S DARKEST SECRET IS ABOUT TO BE DISCOVERED
And that attracts the attention of the Event Group, a top secret government organisation made up of soldiers, scientists and historians, dedicated to uncovering the truth behind history's greatest myths.
When an old manuscript, buried deep within the Vatican archives, suggests that the legendary lost city of El Dorado may be more than a myth, it also reveals the terrible price that's been paid to protect it.
An Event Group team, led by Major Jack Collins, is dispatched to the jungles of Amazon Basin. Their mission: a quest that has over centuries meant disappearance and death. For Collins and his people neither is an option . . .

—— Oodals BlogWell recommended
—— EurocrimeSkilfully plotted, with a great clarity of style. I really enjoyed it
—— Alison JosephA great debut introducing an unusual lead character
—— Novel HeightsVery strong. Very well written
—— Crime SquadQuite simply the best start to a new crime series - and the best debut - I've read in years. Joe Stark is such a terrific hero, full of flaws and compassion and the sort of quiet heroism that you rarely see these days, even in fiction. One of those books I want to bulk buy and press into the hands of everyone I know. The writing is top-notch, the action sequences are superlative, the characters crackle off the page and the dialogue whips and zings like bullets in the dust. Read it!

—— Crime ReviewAn astonishingly assured debut novel
