Christopher Rowe is back and there are more puzzles, riddles, and
secrets to uncover in this third novel of the award-winning Blackthorn
Key series.
Wherever Christopher Rowe goes, adventure--and murder--follows. Even a
chance to meet King Charles ends in a brush with an assassin.
All that's recovered from the killer is a coded message with an ominous
sign-off: more attempts are coming. So when Christopher's code-breaking
discovers the attack's true target, he and his friends are ordered to
Paris to investigate a centuries-old curse on the French throne. And
when they learn an ancient treasure is promised to any assassin who
succeeds, they realize the entire royal family is at stake--as well as
their own lives.
In the third heart-pounding installment of the award-winning Blackthorn
Key series, Christopher, Tom, and Sally face new codes, puzzles, and
traps as they race to find the hidden treasure before someone else is
murdered.
