Summary
The gripping new Ben Hope thriller from the Sunday Times best seller.
They thought he was an easy target.
They thought wrong.
It’s a snowy, peaceful Christmas at Le Val, the rural haven that is home to ex-SAS soldier Ben Hope and his associates. With most of the team away for the festive holiday, Ben, recovering from an accident, is one of the skeleton crew guarding the compound. That’s when a ruthless Corsican crime gang, knowing that Ben is injured and out of action, target the location for a violent raid.
With help from his faithful canine companion, Storm, Ben thwarts the attack - but not before the raiders claim several victims among his best friends. Now he must embark on a personal revenge mission to catch the sole remaining killer, the psychopathic Petru Navarro.
Ben’s quest takes him across France into the lawless gangland of Corsica, his only real lead a priceless historic gold cross that is now in Navarro’s hands. If Ben can find it, he’ll find his enemy. But taking down this murderous psycho is another matter....
Critic reviews
"Compelling from the first page until the last, Mariani and his fabulous protagonist Ben Hope entertain in a gripping tale that will have you turning the pages well into the night." (Mark Dawson)
"Thrilling. Scott Mariani is at the top of his game." (Andy McDermott)
"A high level of realism...the action scenes come thick and fast. Like the father of the modern thriller, Frederick Forsyth, Mariani has a knack for embedding his plots in the fears and preoccupations of their time." (Shots Magazine)

Everything you’re expecting and more
I panic somewhat as I approach end of Ben hope books, because I don’t want to be finished and have no more of it to enjoy. Barrelling, rollicking heroic adventure and I’ve worn the edge of my seat to nothing. Highly recommended

Excellent Ben Hope adventure...
I've been a huge fan of this series over the years. The Crusaders Cross is right up there with the best of them. I feared I was going to fall out with Scott Mariani over the fate of one particular character, but fortunately everything was okay in the end...
Superbly narrated by Colin Mace.

Always enjoyable
Another great Ben Hope book by Scott Mariani. Thoroughly enjoyable and had me biting my lip with angst on many occasions. Lovely touch having Storm so involved in the story & adventure too - and I had tears in my eyes a few times. Glad that Colin Mace is still narrating too. Looking forward to the next book!

Disappointed
I’m an avid fan of Ben Hope books and have loved all the past editions but this one has disappointed. It limps along, almost boring and very predictable. I’m sorry but just not up to Scott Mariani’s usual standard. Colin Mace tries his best to make it exciting but it simply is not. At 10 hrs it’s a story that could have been told in 5.
