Knox's well-paced debut offers some new wrinkles on the theme of
the archeological discovery that will change the course of human
history. British reporter Rob Luttrell, who barely survived
a suicide bomber's attack in Iraq, is hoping to take things easy,
but his new assignment, to cover a dig in Turkish Kurdistan,
proves anything but routine. German archeologist Franz Breitner
has found evidence of buildings at the site known as Gobekli Tepe
that appear to be 10,000 to 11,000 years old, 5,000 years earlier
than any similar structure. The excavation has aroused the ire of
the locals, who place an ancient Aramaic curse on those working
there. It may be no accident when Breitner is impaled on a pole.
Luttrell teams with an attractive biological anthropologist,
Christine Meyer, to solve the mystery of the site, which may be
where the Garden of Eden was located. Readers will hope to see
more such offbeat thrillers from Knox, the pseudonym of London
journalist Sean Thomas
