THE JAGUAR MASK by Daniel Easterman

Archaeologist Leo Mallory is on a dig. But this is no ordinary assignment. He's deep in the heart of the Mexican jungle uncovering a centuries-old Mayan city. Like a surgeon performing an intricate operation, Leo and his team skilfully remove each crumb of earth with the utmost precision.

In France, Interpol's Declan Carberry is busy trying to solve a string a ritual serial murders. Horrific in the extreme, the questions are who and why? Declan needs to move fast for time is running out.

Delving into the history of the Conquistadors and the Maya of South America, this vertiginous tale of snaring and netting, old rituals and modern codes, blood-letting and immortality is Easterman at his dizzying best.

Soft cover, good condition. Slight foxing.
