1944: the Ace of Clubs is on a top-secret solitary mission over rural Germany. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane is attacked by German Junkers and flight Lieutenant Fletch 'Wrath' Hannah has to give the command to bale out as the plane crashes over Nazi Germany. Present day: a bulldozer uncovers the remains of a long-lost Second World War bomber and so begins a treacherous international journey from the crucifixion of Jesus at Golgotha to the Crusades, the Inquisition, witch hunts, Satanism and the Reichskonkordat. Lawyer/historian Wyatt Rook and Liz Hannah must solve a series of whodunits, locked-room murders and biblical mysteries to unravel the Judas puzzle: the Achilles' heel of the New Testament. Blocking them at every turn is the Legionary of Christ, a present day crusader backed by a secret inquisition that will stop at nothing to make sure the Judas puzzle remains unsolved.

Slade on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MountieNoir Slade on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MountieNoir Criminal lawyer MICHAEL SLADE has acted in over one hundred murder cases. His specialty is the law of insanity. He argued the last death penalty case in Canada’s highest court. Backed by his forensic experience, Slade’s Special X and Wyatt Rook thrillers fuse the genres of police and legal procedure, whodunit and impossible crime, suspense, history, and horror. Slade was guest of honor at both the Bloody Words crime convention and the World Horror Convention. As Time Out puts it, “A thin line separates crime and horror, and in Michael Slade’s thrillers, the demarcation vanishes altogether.” Slade was guest speaker at the international Police Leadership Conference and several RCMP regimental dinners. As Reader’s Digest puts it, “The Slade books have developed a strong following among police officers because of their strict adherence to proper police procedure.” For the stories behind his plots, visit Slade’s Morgue at www.specialx.net.
