“A standout in contemporary literature . . . Evans has created something rare: The intellectual depth of Umberto Eco combined with the narrative drive of Dan Brown. This stunning debut marks the emergence of an author whose work promises to redefine what’s possible in the genre. A major new voice in contemporary literature, one who can bridge the gap between popular fiction and serious literary ambition. A remarkable achievement.”

“What a read! A Da Vinci Code-like search into the hidden meanings of history, art and philosophy  . . .  Full of twists and turns revealed via conspiracy theories, political agendas, spiritual beliefs, and truly high-quality psychological crime writing.
