The Seventh Stone


Pamela Hegarty - 2011
    Well written and compelling.”“Thinking person's thriller – Read it!” 42+ weeks as an International Best SellerIndiana Jones meets Da Vinci Code in this action-packed thriller, with a mysterious shaman, a brutal murder, bloodthirsty pirates, vicious beasts, a ruthless villain, a gunfight at an archeological site, a brilliant, beautiful heroine and a ruggedly handsome hero—no spoilers here. These are the highlights from the opening scenes as hero and villain race to find the Breastplate of Aaron and its seven legendary gemstones. The Breastplate is the companion piece to the Ark of the Covenant. Trivia question: Where have you seen the Breastplate before? Indy's nemesis archaeologist wears it when he opens the Ark in the desert. The Breastplate, according to the Bible, is our connection between man and God. The Seventh Stone is provocative and suspenseful, and may spark controversy as it challenges the line between reality and faith.WINNER - 2012 GLOBAL EBOOK AWARD, THRILLERNote from the author: In The Seventh Stone, I tried to create the type of book I love to read, an action-packed quest not only for a powerful artifact, but for the essence of what makes us who we are. I wanted to give readers a page-turner that raises questions more than gives answers. When I was researching and writing The Seventh Stone, I stumbled across historic facts and “coincidences” that were uncanny in how they fit into the plot. It was as though the story could actually be real and had to be told. And that is what The Seventh Stone is at its core, a daring look at what is real and what is faith.
