Forbidden Relics - Lee Clark

. .

Résumé :
An intense search for Ukrainian missionaries amidst a dense Russian-born population. What could possibly go wrong? That was the last sarcastic thought of young physician Matthew Paine before he agreed to go find them. Following their trail to Florida, Matthew learns that two of the four missionaries were assassinated and then submerged-car and all-in a tumultuous channel north of Miami. Vowing to find the other two-a husband and wife with four small children-alive, he presses on despite endangering himself. A decades-old leather notebook containing Cold War secrets, a shrouded covert distress message from a deceased KGB agent, and spies impersonating pastors. Add chanting Byzantine monks and none of it makes any sense. What is the common thread, and who would be driven to murder for any of it? Matthew refuses to believe the missionaries are involved, but could he be dead wrong? Maybe it's personal, perhaps it's political, or have treasure brokers become ruthless killers? Is Matthew in their crosshairs? Can he bring the endangered missionaries to safety before he becomes the next target? Forbidden Relics, the nail-biting sixth book in the Matthew Paine Mysteries series, is a riveting read. If you like well-meaning heroes, murderous pursuers, mind-bending revelations with twists and turns, you will not be able to put down Lee Clark's most recent whodunit. Read Forbidden Relics TODAY and discover hidden secrets worth dying for!...
