Trust No One
Just finished reading "Trust No One" by James Rollins, released by William Morrow.
I discovered James Rollins over 25-years ago when I came across his first Sigma Force Series novel, "Sandstorm," on a new arrivals table near the front of the new arrival section at the Barnes & Noble near where I live. Rollins is a master of high octane, action-packed thrillers that blends historical mysteries and figures in a style similar to the late Alastair Mclean.
Sharyn Karr is an American student in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism at the University of Exeter in England. Shortly before his death when the two meet in the school's library, Professor Julian Wright entrusts her with a valuable and historically significant ancient book, the locked and encrypted journal from the Count of Saint-Germain, an 18th-century alchemist. He instructs her to never open it, keep it safe and, trust no one. He also gives her a number to contact if she needs help. Events quickly force Sharyn to confide in her two roommates along with Duncan Maxwell and his friend.
The five university students are being chased by a lethal cabal and law enforcement while being blamed for murder. They flee, following instructions via their unknown contact, but are followed at their every move and pursued across England, France, and into the Italian Alps by their deadly pursuers. They learn from Malick Laurent, a guardian of the book who joins them in their flight, that Confrérie des Illuminés is the group after them.
Another fast-paced thriller by Rollins!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
