The Quest by Nelson Demille

The Quest by Nelson Demille

Mankind's greatest mystery lies in wait...Civil war rages in Ethiopia. A priest waits to die in a parched prison cell; he has not seen daylight for four decades. But then a mortar shell hits the compound, and the prisoner and his secret are free. Two reporters and a beautiful photographer save this wounded man, who tells them something too incredible to believe: the location of the Holy Grail. Thus begins an impossible quest that will pit them against murderous tribes, deadly assassins, fanatical monks, and ultimately, themselves. The Quest is a breakneck search for an ancient legend amid a dangerous jungle war - and no one's coming out unscathed.

Full-on and fast-paced..no one could fault the heart-stopper of an ending. - Daily Mail on The Panther

Big, compelling and furiously paced, it screams to a terrific climax. - Daily Mail on The Panther
