I almost put this book down because of the purple prose, but I persevered. Critics compared it to The Da Vinci Code and to books by Brad Meltzer. Seems there is a genre of conspiracy books with a semi religious theme, although I don’t know the name of the genre. The oldest inhabited place on earth is the mysterious Citadel situated on a mountain in the Turkish city of Ruin in which the mysterious sacrament is guarded. The entire world learned about the Citadel when a young man seen hanging on the wall of the Citadel, with his body shaped in the form of the Tau cross, jumps to his death. His sister comes from the US to see his body; a police detective is assigned to this case; a mysterious outside group is trying to breach the Citadel; and a swarm of mysterious monks is determined to protect the Last Sacrament. It is filled with lots of violence and action and quasi religious rituals. If you liked The Da Vinci Code, you’ll probably like this and the sequel. It was a fun read for a change. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: "If a thriller has to be one thing it's thrilling, and Simon Toyne's Sanctus is thrilling with bells on....A roller coaster ride through a dark world of conspiracy and betrayal." If you are a fan of top-notch conspiracy fiction that keeps you up late nights turning pagesâ??if the bestselling novels of Steve Berry, James Rollins, Dan Brown, Raymond Khoury, and Chris Kuzneski make your heart race fasterâ??then remember the name Simon Toyne! Already a smash instant bestseller in the United Kingdom ("Intriguing and engaging...[with a] relentless pace" The Sun) Toyne's Sanctus is, quite simply, one of the most extraordinary conspiracy thriller debuts in many years. In this electrifying, nonstop adventure, a young newspaper reporter, driven by the memory of her lost brother, uncovers a dark secret nurtured for 3,000 years by blood and lies by adherents of an ancient, unknown religion in a Vatican-like citadel hidden away for millennia from unwelcomed prying eyes.

That being said, this is only the first book in a trilogy. Perhaps this book was just the build up and the next will deliver something more. Not sure yet if I'm going to read it to find out. ( )
