Aprašymas

"Thomas, I'm bored. We need some excitement."

Back from their harrowing mission in the desert to recover a stolen statue of Aphrodite, detectives Flinders Petrie and Thomas Pettigrew have earned a reputation for success against all odds. Just as they are growing restless for another big case, they are tasked with finding a stolen religious artifact, the bones of the apostle Thomas, a quest that brings them face-to-face with the dark horrors of the Armenian and Assyrian genocide during World War I. With the help of Gazelda, a retired witch turned intelligence agent, the duo pursues the relic and its mysterious thief, known only as the Veiled One. But facing their old enemy again is only half the battle. To succeed at their task, both men must confront their own personal histories and the friends, family, and lovers they left behind in Turkey years before.

With The Bones of the Apostle, author John Amos delivers another lively international adventure that is at once charming and sobering, poignant and jarring. The atmospherics will compel you; the story will move you.
