The Mayan Conspiracy

From Sunday Times bestselling author Graham Brown, co-author (with Clive Cussler) of The Pharaoh's Secret

A coveted treasure. A perilous mission. A dangerous secret that could change the world...

Former CIA-agent Hawker has been black flagged by his own government and Interpol and the State department have issued a warrant for his arrest. All Hawker wants to do is find a way back home that doesn't involve a prison sentence or a body bag.

Government operative Danielle Laidlaw is his way out. She needs a pilot and a security consultant for her mission to discover the lost Mayan city of Tulan Zuyu. In return for his services, she promises Hawker his life back.

But as an unseen enemy stalks the rainforests, leaving battered corpses in its wake, they are about to discover that they are not the first - and they are not the only people looking for Tulan Zuyu and the secrets it may hold.

Reviews

...sizzles with tension and twists that both entertain and magnetize. The plot envelops the reader into a brilliantly conceived world, full of strange and amazing things. Graham Brown is an exciting new talent, a writer we're going to be hearing a lot from in the years ahead. I can't wait.

...an adventure that's not only a terrific read but is smart, intelligent, and poised to shake up the whole thriller community. Every copy should come with a bucket of popcorn and a John Williams soundtrack to play in the background. I loved it.

Accomplished thriller... Turn of Mind is an incisive, humane exploration of how we can rail against our need for close relationships with others, feeling that they undermine our independence, even as we keep coming back for more

—— Josie Barnard , Times Literary Supplement

Turn of Mind is a difficult read emotionally, but more than justifies the reader's investment with its sublime writing and pitch-perfect plotting. As a drama it is scintillating, but transcends the boundaries of a mere thriller with a stunning exploration of a devastating illness. This is a book of tremendous value

This is a beautifully-written book with a dark mystery at its heart

—— Bookbag

Turn of Mind is an incredibly powerful novel, handled with an infinite amount of care and sensitivity that entertains and educates from beginning to end

The twists and turns of mind this novel charts are haunting and original

Gripping...compelling
