To celebrate the release of “The Last Testament” by Sam Bourne, Harper Collins are giving three lucky people a chance to win a copy of the book!
THE LAST TESTAMENT
By Sam Bourne
Released 2nd July
The new, brilliantly high-concept religious conspiracy-theory thriller from the author of ‘The Righteous Men’, set against the backdrop of the world’s bitterest conflict. April 2003: as the Baghdad Museum of Antiquities is looted, a teenage Iraqi boy finds an ancient clay tablet in a long-forgotten vault. He takes it and runs off into the night!
Several years later, at a peace rally in Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister is about to sign a historic deal with the Palestinians. A man approaches from the crowd and seems to reach for a gun — bodyguards shoot him dead. But in his hand was a note, one he wanted to hand to the prime minister. The shooting sparks a series of tit-for-tat killings which could derail the peace accord.
Washington sends for trouble-shooter and peace negotiator Maggie Costello, after she thought she had quit the job for good. She follows a trail that takes her from Jewish settlements on the West Bank to Palestinian refugee camps, where she discovers the latest deaths are not random but have a distinct pattern. All the dead men are archaeologists and historians — those who know the buried secrets of the ancient past. Menaced by fanatics and violent extremists on all sides, Costello is soon plunged into high-stakes international politics, the worldwide underground trade in stolen antiquities and a last, unsolved riddle of the Bible.

1The Last Testament like the Righteous Men is overblown.
Did the author not have an editor?? He mananges to take page after page after page to tell what could be dealt with in a few paragraphs and it becomes pretty turgid and unreadable - it just doesn’t flow.
New Dan Brown? Doen’t be fooled its just hype.
