It was another great read in the ever-expanding Ben Hope adventures and might I say, one of the most dangerous ones he had to face. Ben hears through the grapevine that an archaeologist friend has got into trouble in Afghanistan, looking for her father's unfinished digs.

I have loved these novels for many years and Mariani keeps them sharp, even this deep into this stellar series, which shows no signs of fading!

Ben Hope has made a name for himself over the last number of years, proving to be a dedicated hero to those who need him, while also a keen teacher so that others can defend themselves.Their mission is to rescue a group of 40 children from an orphanage along with their matrons and priest, who have been bravely protecting the kids from falling into the hands of the ruthless Taliban soldiers.
