Synopsis

A reckoning that will destroy them all…

Trials, persecutions, false accusations, the Inquisition—for archaeologist and TV host Annja Creed, the current episode they're taping for her show is a fascinating one. But while Annja is filming the last segment in France, a vicious "accident" nearly kills her. It looks to be unintentional…until a man calling himself Cauchon claims responsibility.

The name Cauchon strikes a chord in the exceptionally—some might say unnaturally—long memory of Annja's friend and mentor Roux. Discovering the old man's secret years ago, Cauchon wanted to blackmail Roux before fate put the matter to rest. Or so Roux thought. Now this powerful fanatic has turned from seeking out the divine to meting out "justice." Vengeance. And he will single-handedly resurrect the violence of the Inquisition to ensure that Annja and her friend are judged and found guilty. With so much at stake, Annja may soon find that friendship can be fatal.

One of the Better Annja Adventures This was good. All three, Roux, Garin and Annja end up helping each other. Good action, some interesting plot twists that make you think of Indiana Jones. I read Rogue Angel for enjoyment, and #54 delivers with a roar!......more

Goodreads review by John on May 24, 2015

One of the better of this rather silly but fun series. "Alex Archer" is actually a stable of authors. This author has, at the beginning, Annja being more flirtatious than usual, and, at the end, a little more "in your face," but, basically, it was a fine example of why I enjoy these.......more
