Businessman and amateur historian Guy Tresanton is the History Detective - and in this, the first of his adventures, his only weapon against seemingly insurmountable odds is his uncanny ability to know what's going to happen next. In a desperate battle against a sinister alliance of mystic powers and the corporate world, Tresanton, his young firecracker of a Chinese sidekick Rose and the redoubtable Inspector Monty are all that stands between the civilised world and Armaggeddon. Treachery, violence and sexual power games all add to a heady mix of action and intrigue as events take our heroes careering across continents towards the riveting climax. Why is the gorgeous Leila so fearful of him? What significance has a century old football competition? Why is the monastery on a remote island so significant and who are the mysterious elders? 'This is an excellent thriller culled from the intrigue and plotting of the Court of medieval Spain and the intrepid courage of the explorers of that age woven into an exciting and original modern day adventure in the search for Caribbean treasure.'
