About the book
An utterly gripping thriller perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Michael Crichton and Stephen King. The Anomaly will leave you breathless until the final page has been turned . .
. THEY SOUGHT THE TRUTH. THEY FOUND A NIGHTMAREA team of explorers seek ancient treasures, hidden in a secret cave.

Then events take an even more terrifying turn. For not all secrets are meant to be found . .
