Bringing together the series opener, The Alchemist's Secret, and the more recent instalment, The Tudor Deception, this set spans Ben's earliest case through to a Tudor-era mystery with deadly modern consequences. Perfect for thriller fans who love history, conspiracy and non-stop action wrapped into one addictive read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn The Alchemist's Secret, the book that launched the series, a former SAS soldier tormented by his past is recruited to track down an ancient manuscript rumoured to hold the secret of the elixir of life. Alongside American scientist Dr Roberta Ryder, Ben races from Paris to the Cathar strongholds of the Languedoc, pursued by shadowy forces determined to seize the alchemist Fulcanelli's secrets. It's a fast, twisting introduction to Ben Hope's world, blending real alchemical history with modern-day peril. Jumping forward to book twenty-eight, The Tudor Deception finds Ben retired from the military and living quietly in Ireland, running a covert operation to rescue missing children. When asked to look into the centuries-old disappearance of two boys, he initially turns the case down-only to find himself pulled into a bomb attack, a murdered history professor, and a conspiracy stretching from the Tudor court to the present day. As the body count rises, Ben must race across Europe to uncover the truth before he becomes the next target. Together, these two novels show the range of Mariani's storytelling: the raw energy of his debut and the confident plotting of a much later entry in a series that has sold millions of copies worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo full-length Ben Hope thrillers in one collection-ideal for sampling both the start and a later high point of the series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines historical mystery with modern-day espionage and action, appealing to fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Andy McDermott.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, ready to gift or add straight to your shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat introduction for new readers and a satisfying addition for long-time Ben Hope fans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, cinematic writing that keeps pages turning from start to finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nScott Mariani is the number one Sunday Times bestselling author behind the multi-million-selling Ben Hope thrillers, following a maverick ex-SAS hero across more than two decades of adventures.
