The Last Secret of the Temple

By: Paul Sussman

Narrated by: Gordon Griffin

From the best-selling author of The Lost Army of Cambyses, the new Inspector Khalifa thriller.

When the body of hotel owner Piet Jansen is discovered amid the ruins of an archaeological site by the Nile, it looks like a routine investigation for Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor Police. But the more he learns about Jansen, the more he is reminded of the brutal murder, some years earlier, of an Israeli woman at Karnak for which he always suspected the wrong man was convicted. Ignoring the objections of his superiors, Khalifa re-opens the case, but to do so, he finds he's obliged to team up with a bigoted, hard-drinking Israeli detective.

Critic reviews

"The intelligent reader's answer to The Da Vinci Code." (Independent)

Gripping Thriller

Very well done. The characters are well-drawn and the narration excellent. Great use of credits

wonderful book

I was a little afraid that with 20+ hours of listening I would find this book boring. But I loved every minute of it. The characters are lively and well drawn and you just have to keep listening to the unfolding of the story. Sussman manages to write not only an intelligent and suspenseful thriller but gives you something to think about long after the end of the book

Bad words!

I thought the story was overall a good story. I love books that search for the Temple treasures, but the book had to much cussing in it. Every other word it seemed like it was a cuss word. Especially the F.... Word. I hate that the most and it was in it a lot.

Great listen while traveling.

Enjoyed, but too much profanity.
Story line is original. Wish hero didn't smoke so much.

Excellent!

Don't know why several of the others didn't really care for this novel. I thought it was fast paced, well read, and excellently written. A little cliche on the Middle Eastern relations but with unique twists and turns. If you enjoy Middle Eastern religious history, this is well worth the credits.
