Two billion people are about to die… and they’re the lucky ones.

Ebook, delivered by Bookfunnel, read on any device.

When a man in a hospital gown jumps to his death from the Western Wall in Israel, the authorities think it’s just another victim of Jerusalem Syndrome: a religious psychosis triggered by a visit to the holy city.

But when a second victim ritually disembowels himself, it’s the sign of much worse to come. Thanatos — a fanatical group dedicated to the destruction of the world — is on the move again.

The only ones who can stop them are ex-Israeli military psychologist, Oxford professor, and religious expert Morgan Sierra; and Jake Timber, agent of ARKANE, the British agency tasked with investigating — and sometimes saving the world from — the supernatural.

Last time, Morgan and Jake worked together to stop Thanatos from bringing about a dark version of Pentecost. This time, Thanatos is mixing science with sacrilege — combining the Devil’s Bible with mind-control technology to murder a quarter of the human race.

Together, Morgan and Jake will travel from the hallowed halls of Oxford, to the labs of a biotech company with a dark agenda, to a chapel made of human bones. They’ll go anywhere, do anything, to stop Thanatos.

But they have to hurry.

Thanatos is on the rise. Apocalypse is at the gates. And the only way to save a quarter of the world is for Morgan to uncover the secrets of her past… at the cost of her own future. Death awaits in a Crypt of Bone.

"Morgan and Jake have to recover the Devil's Bible before it gets into the wrong hands and can cause devastating consequences that can affect the whole world ... Another great book in the series. Very intense at times and with unexpected outcomes."

"This is my kind of book ... action-packed, mesmerizing, and a thrilling blend of what is and how it can turn deadly ... The author takes the reader on a journey through secrets of religion, jaunts across the globe, believable action, and evil.

"This series blends religious history, mystical occult and modern mayhem to create a tale that's exciting to read. If you like Dan Brown, you'll love this. You might like it even MORE than Dan Brown because the historical info isn't over done. It's woven into the story in an elegant way. And the protagonist is an intelligent woman who loves history and wants to save the world."

Crypt if Bone

I still really enjoyed it but had a little more difficulty tracking the locations than in the other books and I missed Jack being more present

Well done, Ms. Penn!

From my Amazon 5* review in 2020:
I read "Stone of Fire" first, and I’m glad I did. These can be read as stand-alone stories, but the earlier book has the complete history of Dr. Morgan Sierra and how she arrived at the start of book two. Ms. Penn has a knack for blending religion, history, literature, art, science and creative license with current events in an easy-to-read style that pulls you in and keeps you interested. I read for escape and entertainment – I like the James Bond-like close calls, death-defying scenes and super-human recoveries (I read a lot of space opera and fantasy, too). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend that you start with book one. I will be reading more in this series.

The bad guy is a brilliant lunatic

Messing with people’s minds, making them do things they wouldn’t normally do – some kind of superpower, right? Turns out it is more sinister than that.

People dying, buildings exploding and Morgan pulled into it all because of her past…

“To speak something into the world with intent is somehow to create it, to make it real.” This is the essence of the story and fuels so much of the conflict.

I love the use of ancient books and modern technology to create chaos in this story.

Personally, I could’ve done without the scenes from the antagonists’ point of view.

Great world-building. The art, the different destinations, the history… I enjoyed the tour of the Paris Catacombs the most.

And the bad guy… Well, he’s a brilliant lunatic.

My favourite piece of tech in this series is Spooky’s virtual library.

A must-read for fans of religious thrillers.
