From acclaimed Thriller Master, David Morrell, comes a classic espionage tale that changed the genre, paving the way for the religious/historical thrillers of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, and James Rollins.
In a remote monastery in Vermont, a mysterious man named Drew MacLane has spent six years alone in a cell doing penance for sins that he committed for his government. His only human contact is the hand that delivers his spartan meals through a slot in his door. Desperate to retreat from the world's violence, Drew allows himself only one small pleasure, the companionship of a mouse that visits him each night while he eats. When the mouse dies, nibbling some bread, a terrible suspicion makes Drew finally leave his cell, discovering that all the monks have been poisoned. As a black-ops team scours the monastery, Drew realizes that his deadly past has finally caught up to him. He must leave his sanctuary and confront the ruthless enemies that he prayed he had left behind.
THE FRATERNITY OF THE STONE is the second book in the highly praised Brotherhood of the Rose trilogy. It begins with the Crusades and the invention of the word “assassin.” It was the first novel to deal with Opus Dei, the Vaticans civilian intelligence community. If you like to read about ancient conspiracies that threaten the modern world, download a sample or purchase today.
