Book synopsis

A lost past. A hidden tomb. 

An ancient cult. A race against time. 

Once a rising star in the field of archaeology, Marah Chase is now a black-market treasure hunter, her services available to the highest bidder. But when she's caught "rescuing" relics in Syria, an MI6 officer named Joanna Mason approaches her with an offer she can't refuse: help save the world or rot in prison.

Alexander the Great's tomb has been lost for almost two thousand years. Hidden within the tomb is a secret that could rewrite history or destroy the planet. Nothing stays lost forever, and Alexander is about to be unearthed. All Chase has to do is get there before a shadowy ancient cult, the white supremacists they employ, and the rival the rival archaeologist who recently left Chase for dead.

Chase can't resist a challenge - or the British spy recruiting her. There's just one problem. If Chase has any hope of unearthing Alexander's tomb before the forces hot on her heels, she'll need the help someone she's been avoiding for fifteen years: her ex-girlfriend.

Fans of Indiana Jones, Sigma Force, Sean Wyatt, Cotton Malone, and Lincoln Child will love Marah Chase.

"Fun from start to finish. Half Indiana Jones, half The Da Vinci Code. Fast paced, intricately plotted and laced with the author's trademarks: characters you quickly care about, razor-sharp dialogue and laugh out loud moments. Recommended"

- MW Craven

"Marah Chase is cunning, empowered, and queer, a Lara Croft for the 21st century."

-John Copenhaver

"Ever wonder what Raiders of the Lost Ark would be like if it was set in the present day and Marian Ravenwood got to do all the cool stuff instead of Indiana Jones?"

- Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff

"Stringer effortlessly weaves a complex web of espionage and betrayal around a rip-snorting, larger-than-life adventure in the spirit of Indiana Jones."

- Antony Johnston, creator of 'Atomic Blonde' and 'The Exphoria Code'

"Stringer, author of the Sam Ireland and Eoin Miller mysteries, has a winner here with Marah Chase―pulse-pounding adventure, in the best Indiana Jones tradition, with a charismatic gay woman fuelling the action."

- Booklist (starred)

"If you merged Ocean's Eleven with Indiana Jones, you'd get Marah Chase―a high-octane, pulse-pounding race to save the world from an ancient weapon."

- Julie McElwain

Note: This title was originally published as Marah Chase and the Conqueror's Tomb by Pegasus Books in 2019.
