Summary
AN EXHILARATING TREASURE-HUNT THRILLER FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR
An ancient fortune has lain hidden for thousands of years, one so powerful that men will kill to protect it. And only one man can unearth it…
Ex-SAS operative Ben Hope is living a peaceful life in rural France – until a phone call from an old army comrade turns his world upside down. Eminent Egyptologist Morgan Paxton has been brutally murdered while working on the mysterious 'Akhenaten Project' in Cairo, and Colonel Harry Paxton wants Ben to find his son's killer.
Ben is unable to refuse the request from the man who once saved his life – but when Harry asks him to avenge his son's death he's in dangerous territory. Made worse by the fact that he finds himself attracted to Zara Paxton, Harry's new bride.
Carving through the seedy Cairo underworld, Ben soon realises that there was more to Paxton's research than meets the eye as he is plunged into one double-cross after another. His mission leads him from Italy and Paris via the coast of Scotland to the banks of the Nile, climaxing in a tense showdown in the war-torn Sudanese desert.
At the end of the trail lies the ultimate treasure, hidden away by three rebel High Priests during the reign of the 'Heretic' Pharoah Akhenaten – a collection so valuable that some will stop at nothing to possess it…
The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins…
Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the fourth book in the series.

Not as good as the previous books
I found this book more difficult to get through than the others. It was too long to move on in places.

Another epic adventure
Enjoyed this instalment of the Ben Hope adventures. This time, against 2 adversaries, all seemed lost but as ever it went down to the wire.
Wish the epilogue was a bit longer and probed a bit deeper into.... Ah no, plot spoiler not required.

Amazing Series
I have just listened to every book in the Ben Hope series. Scott Mariani is a great author. The stories are all so different, brilliant, entertaining, exciting and so well written. The characters are all brought to life by superb narration. I am waiting with anticipation for the next book in the Series. Hurry! I will have withdrawl symptoms!! Thank you Lillian

Enjoyable, though weaker than previous stories...
The Heretics Treasure follows Ben Hope as he answers a call for help from an old army friend. A friend that, as far as Ben is aware, was responsible for savings Ben's life many years ago.
In a story that sees Ben investigate the murder of an egyptologist, he finds himself chasing leads through Italy, Scotland and Cairo, whilst trouble is never far behind him.
A good story, if maybe a little weaker and less compelling than previous Ben Hope adventures.
Well read by Colin Mace.

Twisting adventure
I really enjoyed this book and as usual was totally gripped. It lost one star though because I sussed all the double crosses et cetera; they’re not obvious & maybe I was just ‘in the zone’. I still highly recommend & especially if you are a fan of Major Benedict Hope.
