Description
#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. New from the internationally bestselling thriller writer Glenn Cooper, whose books have sold more then 6 million copies worldwide, comes The Tenth Chamber. After a fire tears through the library of an ancient monastery a medieval script is discovered hidden behind an antique bookcase. Badly damaged, it is sent to Paris for restoration and there literary historian Hugo Pineau begins to decipher the startling fourteenth-century text. Within its pages lies a fanciful tale of a painted cave and a rudimentary map. Intrigued, Hugo enlists the help of archaeologist Luc Simard and the two men embark on a journey that will change the course of their lives forever. When Luc and Hugo discover a vast network of prehistoric caves, buried deep within the cliffs, they realize that they’ve stumbled across something extraordinary. And at the very core of the labyrinth lies the most astonishing chamber of all, the tenth chamber. Aware of the significance of their discovery, they set up camp with a team of experts, determined to bring their find to the world. But as they begin to unlock the ancient secret the cavern holds, they find themselves at the center of a dangerous game. One ‘accidental’ death leads to another and it soon becomes clear that someone or something will stop at nothing to protect the secret of the tenth chamber. Praise: “The Tenth Chamber shows that Cooper is one of the best new writers of conspiracy thrillers.” David Knights, Keighley News, UK “Here is a story both incandescent and explosive. A seamless blend of modern-day thriller and historical mystery with an ending that left me breathless.” James Rollins, Bestselling Author “Cooper has written one of the best-designed novels that I've read in 14 years." Antonio D' Orrico, Corriere della Sera Magazine “As Cooper builds the layers of intrigue it becomes clear that he is no ordinary thriller writer, but one who asks big questions.” Sunday Telegraph (UK) “The Tenth Chamber shows that Cooper is one of the best new writers of conspiracy thrillers.” David Knights, Keighley News, UK "Glenn Cooper is the Indiana Jones of literature."
