The Apocalypse Fire (An Ava Curzon Thriller)

The explosive and brilliant new thriller from bestseller Dominic Selwood

The Turin Shroud has been stolen in a violent assault. Why? And by whom?

Drawn into the investigation, archaeologist and former spy Ava Curzon finds herself plunged into a desperate struggle against an apocalyptic Russian cult. Recruited by the UK’s clandestine MI13 intelligence agency – and aided by the Vatican’s security division and her former colleague Ferguson – Ava is sucked into a world of dark extremism and Biblical secrets.

As the chase catapults her around Europe, she must unravel the mysteries of an ancient icon belonging to the shadowy Order of Malta.

With time running out, and cataclysmic war in the Middle East the price of failure, the world stands on the brink…
