The Alchemist's Secret by Scott Mariani

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
From the back of the book:

A former elite member of the SAs, Ben Hope is tortured by a tragedy from his past and now devotes his time to rescuing kidnapped children.



But when Ben is recruited to locate an ancient manuscript which could save the life of a dying child, he embarks on the deadliest quest of his life.



The document is alleged to contain the formula for the elixir of life, discovered by the brilliant alchemist Fulcanelli decades before. But it soon becomes apparent that others are hunting this most precious of treasures - for far more evil ends....

I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Mariani. Okay, in places it's a little far fetched, but it's gripping from beginning to end and the characterisation is good.
