A city´s dark secret holds the key to the gates of hell …

When ex-priest Tom Shaman, jaded from years in the Los Angeles ghetto, decides on a last-minute trip to Venice, he gets much more than he expected. A brutal killer is on the loose and Tom finds himself in the midst of a series of ritualistic killings unlike anything Venice has ever seen. Enlisted by the Italian police, Tom teams up with young investigator Valentina Morassi to dig deep into the city's darkest history, stretching from an ancient civilization to the sexual decadence of eighteenth-century Italy to the gritty underworld of modern-day Venice. As Valentina and Tom trace the killings through the centuries, they uncover a deadly secret that generations have killed to protect: a priceless mosaic known as the Gates of Hell. As the clock counts down, Tom and Valentina's adventure builds to an astonishing and satisfying end.

Exotic and well-researched, The Venice Conspiracy will continue to build Christer's name in the hit-thriller genre.

Tähän mennessä lukijat ovat päässeet nauttimaan Da Vincistä, Atlantiksesta, mayoista ja pyramideista - ja nyt vihdoin Stonehengestä. 36 maahan myyty Sam Christerin esikoisteos on todella koukuttava tarina täynnä koodeja, symboliikkaa, piinaavaa jännitystä ja kiehtovia yksityiskohtia yhdestä maailmanhistorian salaperäisimmistä paikoista.

Kahdeksan päivää ennen keskipäiväntasausta mies uhrataan raa'asti Stonehengessä salaisen kultin, Vanhan Taidon kehittäjien uhrijuhlassa. Muutaman tunnin kuluttua yksi maailman tunnetuimmista aarteenetsijöistä, rikas ja vaikutusvaltainen Nathaniel Chase ampuu itsensä kartanossaan. Hän jättää kryptisen viestin pojalleen arkeologi Gideon Chaselle, jota ei ole tavannut vuosikausiin.

Gideon alkaa tutkia isänsä menneisyyttä ja törmää salaiseen kulttiin, jonka jäsenet ovat Stonehengen rakentajien jälkeläisiä ja jotka uhraavat edelleen viattomia ihmisiä jumalilleen uusi ja karismaattinen johtaja keulakuvanaan. Gideon tempautuu mukaan maailmaan, jonka olemassaolosta hänellä ei ollut aavistustakaan.
