When Theo Griepenkerl happens upon the fifth Gospel in a war-torn Iraqi museum, he can't believe his luck. Driven by greed and a lust for fame, he capitalises on his find by publishing it. His book is a sensation. But he can hardly imagine the incendiary consequences his discovery will have for Christians, Arabs, homicidal maniacs and Amazon customers alike.

The Fire Gospel is a brilliant piece of storytelling, dazzlingly outrageous and utterly gripping.

Review:
"The satire is so entertaining, the pace so sharp, the writing so witty . . ." (Observer)

"A hilariously entertaining read" (Sunday Telegraph)

"A thriller of a story" (The Times)

"[A] playful narrative [with] a serious question at the heart." (Sunday Times)

"Beautifully written . . . it might just be the best novel you'll read this year." (London Lite)

"In writing this playful noir thriller-cum-The Da Vinci Code pastiche, the versatile Faber shows he can pen an off-the-cuff satire." (Arifa Akbar Independent 2009-06-21)

"Faber's cautionary tale about the perils of literary fame also works very well as a spoof of The Da Vinci Code phenomenon." (Colin Waters Sunday Herald 2009-07-05)
