| Synopsis: |
After more than three decades spent translating and investigating ancient Welsh manuscripts, historians Morgan and Pender discovered a unique cross featuring a curious inscription. For so long they were rejected by the academic establishment for their sensationalist and conspiratorial theories, but now here was their evidence. They alleged that the real British history, including King Arthur, was eradicated when the Hanoverians took the British throne. With an eye for sensation and scandal, a BBC producer commissioned a documentary about their remarkable findings. What followed was a chain of events more dramatic than fiction. The project was stopped in its tracks following a massive explosion at the home of Morgan and Pender and the BBC producer is assassinated. Reluctant hero, William Marshall, and his brilliant Russian business partner, Natasha, are dragged into an investigation by his maverick friend and reporter Rachel. Facts and cover-ups converge as this powerful, strange and mystical story unfurls. |
