Ben Reese

Millions of mystery novels are purchased every year, and only the Bible has outsold the number of copies purchased of Agatha Christie's titles. Now author Sally Wright introduces to the Christian marketplace an intriguing new mystery series which follows the adventures of archivist Ben Reese, an expert in rare books, coins, paintings, ancient texts, and documents. A former intelligence agent and commando in WWII, Reese - who is also a Christian - repeatedly must extricate himself from dangerous situations, both at home and abroad, in each of the stories in this mystery series. In the first title, Ben is called away from a sabbatical in Oxford, England, to investigate the death of an eccentric, conservative professor who dies of a heart attack in Ohio moments after reporting that he has uncovered a terrible act of treachery. Now Ben's own life is on the line as he investigates the professional jealousy and unchecked pride that led to murder in Publish and Perish.
