E.M. DAVEY

FORETOLD BY THUNDER

A THRILLER

With “a tremendous talent for conjuring scene after scene with striking vivid prose” (Dean Crawford), E.M. Davey stakes his claim as a master of the historical thriller. In this powerful debut, journalist Jake Wolsey stumbles upon a declassified file showing Winston Churchill’s peculiar interest in the ancient, esoteric Etruscan civilization—but a series of deadly coincidences seems to surround the file and everyone who knows of its existence. Wolsey soon attracts the unlikely attention of alluring archaeologist Florence Chung—and that of MI6. As the journalist and archaeologist are pursued across Europe and Africa in search of a sacred Etruscan text, danger closes in and more questions than answers arise. Are there powers in the sky modern science has yet to understand? Could the ancients predict the future? And what really explains the rise of Rome, that of Nazi Germany, and the ebb and flow of history itself?

In a thrilling race against time and enemies known and unknown, Wolsey fears the very survival of the West may depend on his ability to stay one step ahead of his adversaries. In this electrifying debut thriller brimming with detailed historical facts and unexpected twists, E.M. Davey delivers a page-turning tale of ancient intrigue and modern day peril.
