Mayan
Equinox
By Keith Jones
According
to several Maya calendars, time will end on
December 27, 2012. Stuart Everly discovers that if
he performs human sacrifices at ancient Maya sites
in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the location of a valuable
key to extend time beyond that date will be revealed.
He must consummate the first offering under the full
moon on a Mayan equinox. Russell Palmer, a Los Angeles
professor of Central American civilizations, learns
of the first sacrifice and rushes to Cancun to prevent
future murders. Frustrated by dubious police officers
and haunted by an unfortunate incident in his past,
Russell must convince the wary authorities that he
has well-founded intentions as the frantic search
to prevent more sacrifices and to find the Maya key
leads Russell and the police deep into the tropical
jungles.
"...a
credible adventure containing many historical elements
that should appeal to Steve Alten fans."Library
Journal
"A
riveting and original novel from beginning to end,
Mayan Equinox is very highly recommended reading,
especially for mystery buffs with an interest in the
historical culture of the Central American Mayans."Midwest
