This week I picked The Lafayette Sword by Eric Giacometti, Jacques Ravenne
Gold. Obsession. Secrets. Following the murder of a Freemason brother, Antoine Marcas uncovers unsettling truths about gold and its power to fascinate and corrupt. A priceless sword is stolen and deaths ensue setting the Freemason detective on a case of Masons turned bad. A clue points to mysteries and conspiracy about elusive pure gold, launching a frantic, deadly race between two symbolic places-the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. A captivating plot weaves alchemy and the Middle Ages into a modern-day thriller. With "vivid characters, an evocative international setting, and history darker than midnight," this thriller is for readers who love ancient myths, secret societies, chilling narrative and modern speed. - Over 200,000 copies sold in France alone - The series has sold over 2 million copies worldwide - Published in 18 countries.

DeleteA historical fiction suspense read, sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have high expectations for this one. It sounds like it has all the elements I love.
DeleteThis is supposedly my ancestor
ReplyDeleteWell that's a good reason to read it ;)
DeleteWhat a great way to showcase books, and to remember which ones you want to read. And a book that I want to check out!
ReplyDeleteI have so many books on my tbr and always feel bad for neglecting them. When I came across this weekly meme I knew I had to take part.
DeleteHaven’t read a thriller in a while... good one
ReplyDeleteI LOVE thrillers. Ever need any suggestions I'm sure I can help :)
DeleteJudging by the synopsis it must be a lot like Dan Brown's books: great mystery, lots of running around, chasing and being chased. I hope you'll enjoy it when you read it.
ReplyDeleteMy Goodreads Monday post
That's what I was thinking. I've heard good things about this one. Hopefully it will live up to the hype.
DeleteSounds like an interesting book! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw it pop up a lot when it was first released, and even hosted the authors on my other blog. I added it to my tbr straight away. Can't believe I still haven't gotten round to reading it if I'm honest.
DeleteI like books like this. I am a sucker for historical mysteries like this. Of course I'm gullible enough to believe almost all of them. I wish my history classes had included this kind of information (suspicions). It might have made the classes more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit of a history geek, and as you know I love thrillers and mystery. This definitely has all the elements I love.
DeleteGreat post, ohh this book looks and sounds really intriguing plus this is the first time I heard about it. I absolutely love the gorgeous cover as well! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post.
