THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT THREATENED A RELIGION!!!

A BRUTAL PATTERN:
The first victim is abducted in Italy then executed over a thousand miles away. The next day, the same crime is repeated—this time in Asia and Africa. Three different continents but one brutal pattern: someone is reenacting the crucifixion of Christ.

A WRONGFUL ARREST:
While visiting Spain, Payne & Jones are arrested for crimes they supposedly committed during their military careers. Fortunately, the CIA brokers a deal on their behalf: all the charges will be dropped if they help catch Dr. Charles Boyd, a master thief who has stolen some of the finest treasures in Europe.

A RELIGION EXPOSED:
With little choice, the duo begins its pursuit, only to realize that Dr. Boyd is more than a criminal. He is one of the world's top experts on Ancient Rome and is close to making a discovery that threatens to rewrite the basic foundation of Christianity.

JOHN GILSTRAP, USA TODAY bestselling author—

THOM RACINA, USA TODAY bestselling author—
"SIGN OF THE CROSS is like The Da Vinci Code on steroids. Wow! What a great book!"

CRIME SQUAD (UK)—
"In SIGN OF THE CROSS, Chris Kuzneski has created an entirely original world-view and tells us an extraordinary tale with one hell of a sting to it. He writes like a dream and his thriller style is nigh on flawless. Indeed, the author has created a page-turning style that older thriller pros would give up serious appendages to perfect."

MySHELF.com (featured review)—
"I could say Kuzneski is the next Dan Brown but then that would be simply lumping him into a category and leaving him there. Kuzneski doesn't deserve that lumping and leaving. He has so much going for him that it is really difficult to say how impressed I am with this young author.... This book is too good to put down and too interesting to want to finish. I have reviewed several of this type of book lately, and sincerely found this one to be the one that I will remember and look back on."

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY—
"Kuzneski knows what fans of the genre want: compelling and well-researched history, high-tech 21st-century sleuthing, and a lot of action."
