Paul Wilson: \"I love a good science thriller, and this one is a helluva read.\"\u003cp\u003eStarred Review, Publishers Weekly: \"Superior science fiction thriller. . . . Boland's taut atmospherics are top-notch, and the evolutionary themes he explores are easily accessible to nonscientists.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMystery Scene review: \"A riveting scientific suspense novel on the order of the popular Preston and Child thrillers. . . . Boland makes complicated theories about DNA and genetically linked illnesses easily understood. And in contrast to many science-heavy suspense novelists, Boland also has the ability to create three-dimensional characters. [The hero's] love life is a mess; Silas Merton, the island's mayor and only clergyman, is also the town drunk; . . . and even brutish Luther turns out to be much, much more than your average killer. . . . Hominid never fails to make for exciting reading.\" (Betty Webb)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKirkus said John C. Boland's DEATH IN JERUSALEM \"roars along like a BMW in heat.\" Now Boland--two-time Shamus nominee and International Thriller Writers finalist--imagines a species-wide conflict in a fast-paced science thriller. Archaeologist David Isaac joins a team excavating a crypt on a remote island where a colonial-era family lies buried. By local lore, the family were \"devils.\" The expedition's leader hopes to revive his career by proving they were murdered by neighbors in a burst of religious hysteria. But these cadavers harbor an older and deadlier secret. And nobody is prepared for what is about to emerge. Evolution is deadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perfect Crime Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055877865712,"sku":"9781935797166","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935797166_p0.jpg?v=1763657844","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935797166","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
