"An impressively ambitious debut that marries the crime novel with the occult thriller. . . . It's a British variant on The Da Vinci Code and The Rule of Four."-Andrew Taylor "Cracking . . . overly busy, carefully plotted, hard-hitting, but with an advantage of humour to keep it sharp . . . thoroughly to be recommended."-Manda Scott It's a strange type of robbery: On the surface, there is nothing missing, and really the only damage done is to the criminals. David Braun, star investigator for an exclusive insurance firm, is named on by his client-the sinister owner of the building-to find a priceless object that, to the outside world, was never designed to exist. In turning to American academic Susan Milton, an expert from the London School of Antiquities, he finds a friend and ally to help him seem sensible of the situation and unpick the mystery. Together they discover the truth that the crime was intended to conceal. Behind everything, a ruthless thief, who is intent on acquiring a priceless antique-an antique with a bloody history its owners would like to keep hidden. Risking their lives, they expose a horrifying secret that's centuries old-but the discovery makes them the target of your ruthless killer the authorities find impossible to catch. With time running out, David and Susan race to discover the killer's true objective even while he closes in to them . . . Robert Finn is emerging as one of the breakthrough British authors of crime and mystery thrillers. Adept is his debut novel; Ex Machina, the sequel, is due out in autumn 2007.
