Publisher Description
The fourth Payne and Jones thriller from New York Times bestselling author Chris Kuzneski.
“A reader's delight from beginning to end. Tautly written, expertly told, smart, and exhilarating.”—New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry
Carved into the towering cliffs of central Greece, the Holy Trinity monastery is all but inaccessible. Its sacred brotherhood has protected its secret for centuries. In the dead of night, the monastery’s sanctity is shattered by an elite group of warriors carrying ancient weapons. One by one, they hurl the monks from the cliff-top to the rocks below—the holy men taking their secret to their graves.
Halfway across Europe, Richard Byrd has uncovered the location of a magnificent treasure, but there are those who will stop at nothing to prevent its discovery. Hoping to save himself, Byrd contacts Jonathon Payne and David Jones and begs for their help. The duo rushes to Saint Petersburg, Russia, and quickly finds themselves caught in an adventure that will change their lives forever.
Customer Reviews
Not great writing, but good storytelling
If your looking for deep insights to humanity, breath taking imagery or amazing characterizations, you won't find it here. What you will find is a good story, well plotted, anchored in real historical people and places, told in a predictable but enjoyable way, with characters you enjoy hanging out with. I've read his first three novels, and each one gets a little bit better. I doubt you'll ever see the authors name by a Pulitzer Prize listing, but he's consistently making the NYT Best Sellers list, and that ain't bad. Take off your literary hat and just enjoy the ride...

The Lost Throne
Picked this book up at the airport before I knew it was on itunes. Loved it. Kept me guessing and had some great action. I think I want to travel to Greece now. I've never read anything by Chis K before. Now that I've just finished The Lost Throne I'm on I tunes looking to get another one of his books. Enjoy!
