About this listen

Chase Baker is a true Renaissance Man. He's also a man who knows how to find trouble. A part-time resident of Florence, Italy, his resume reads like a modern day Da Vinci or Casanova. Writer, private investigator, tour guide, historian, treasure hunter, adventurer, and even archaeological sandhog, Chase is also a prolific lover. Unfortunately for him, his dangerous liaisons all too often make him the target of a jealous husband.

Now, at the direct request of the Florence police, he finds himself on the trail of an archaeologist by the name of Dr. Andre Manion who's gone missing from his teaching post at the American University. But having worked for the archaeologist several years ago as a sandhog on a secret but failed dig just outside the Great Pyramids in the Giza Plateau, Chase smells a renewed opportunity to uncover what just might be the most prized archaeological treasure in the world: The mortal remains of Jesus. But how will Chase Baker go about solving the mystery of finding both the archaeologist and the Jesus Remains?

With the help of Manion's beautiful ex-wife, Chase will manage to secure an up-close and personal examination of the Shroud of Turin, not only to view the famous image of the crucified Christ, but to unlock the relic's greatest secret, which is none other than a map, or a key, detailing the precise location of Jesus's body.

A romantic, action-packed, and thrilling mystery from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, Vincent Zandri.

If you’re looking for an easy to listen to, Romantic, Action story, then this is for you.
A little cliched and unbelievable at times, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Well narrated with good voices.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

Chase Baker is given a job by Detective Chiprani to find and bring back Dr. Andre Manion who has gone missing in Egypt while in search of the bones of Jesus. Dr Manion’s ex-wife Anya was paying for the trip and insisted on going with Chase to find her husband. Between the Muslin Brotherhood and Vatican guards, the search for the professor and the remains of Jesus is fraught with danger, with their lives in danger at every turn. Lots of action but also too much of Jesus. I thought the last couple of chapters were a bit on the silly side and the story would have been better without them, and ending when he said goodbye to his friend.

This book seems to be a mix of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider & Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series with it's tombs, mysteries and biblical searches. It's adventurous, thrilling and in places had me on the edge of my seat. Plenty of humour and sarcasm along with the excitement. If you can suspend belief for a while and want a fun, action packed read then this fits the bill.

The narrator was pleasant to listen too and did a great job with the character voices and had a good delivery. A shame he pronounced Quay as Kway instead of Kee which jarred a little.

I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next in the series.
