Hi, I’m Max. I love all books history, fantasy, crime and sport. My favourite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, Kingsley Amis and Kurt Vonnegut.
When three women are ritually sacrificed, mutilated and publicly displayed in Barcelona, the city’s premier detective is stumped and driven to early retirement. Some years later, young academic Anna Verco arrives in Spain to search for an ancient text written by the mysterious alchemist Rex Illuminatus. Soon these two mysteries intertwine, with Anna realising that the secrets of Illuminatus’ life and work hold the key to solving the brutal murders. Written in the spirit of Dan Brown’s ever-popular thrillers, Jessica Cornwell’s debut novel introduces a heroine to rival Lisbeth Salander and an historical mystery that will captivate lovers of thrillers and history alike. The first instalment in an exciting new trilogy, The Serpent Papers is a truly enthralling book.
