An audacious and terrifying new thriller from the author of the international bestseller The Genesis Secret. When David Martinez receives an ancient map from his dying grandfather, he is led into the heart of the Basque mountains, where a genetic curse lies buried- and a frightening secret about the Western world is hidden. Meanwhile, London journalist Simon Quinn is investigating two violent murders. Both victims had once been interned in a top-secret Nazi camp-and both came from the Basque region. With The Marks of Cain, Tom Knox (The Lost Goddess) delivers on the promise of his astonishing debut novel, crafting a terrifying and even more ambitious thriller that delves into the shocking truth of what drives human beings to violence, genocide, and war.

Eine Serie entsetzlicher Ritualmorde erschüttert England. Allen Morden gemeinsam ist: das hohe Alter der Opfer, deren baskische Herkunft und Deformierungen an Händen und Füßen. Journalist Simon Quinn ermittelt und wird auf einen Volksstamm aufmerksam, der wegen seiner "Andersartigkeit" von jeher verfolgt wurde - die Cagots. Quinn arbeitet als freier Journalist und wittert in der Mordserie eine ganz große Story. Seine Recherchen führen ihn in ein Genforschungsinstitut, wo er nicht nur mehr über das geschundene Volk der Cagots erfährt, sondern auch von den Untersuchungen des deutschen Arztes und Rassenhygienikers Eugen Fischer, der unter Hitler im französischen Internierungslager Gurs seine Studien machte. Zu den Gefangenen zählten neben Juden und Basken auch Angehörige des Volksstamms der Cagots. Warum gerieten die Fischer-Akten unter Verschluss, und was haben die aktuellen Morde damit zu tun? Während Quinn von London aus ermittelt, spitzen sich an einem zweiten Schauplatz - im Baskenland - die Dinge dramatisch zu. Gekürzte Lesung
