THE MALICE BOX

PENGUIN (1 Feb 07)

When Robert Reckliss is sent what seems to be a copper puzzle box, he has no idea his life is about to undergo violent transformation. That night, an acquaintance kills himself in curious circumstances; the following day, an old friend reveals the existence of an arcane weapon that could wipe the western world from the face of the planet.

And the responsibility for hunting down this weapon, this Malice Box, lies with Robert. The weapon is primed to explode in seven days and Robert must undergo a quest – a series of trials around Manhattan – in order to track down the keys vital to prevent detonation.

In a desperate race against the clock, Robert trails the streets of Manhattan guided by Terri, a mysterious psychic, and under the constant gaze of the sinister Watchman. Higher forces are battling to prevent him completing the quest – for the Minotaur and Unicorn are circling their prey . . .

The Malice Box is a thriller unlike any other. Crack the clues with Robert; read his blogs online; and join in the quest to close the Malice Box once and for all. Visit www.maliceboxquest.com.
