Series: The Poison Secret is Loomis's seventh Lang Reilly Thriller, following the very likable ex-FBI agent in his adventures. All the Lang Reilly Thrillers involve an ancient riddle (curse, document, poison antidote) that unleashes itself into today's geopolitical world, calling upon the superior special-agent skills of Lang Reilly to set things right. Turner has published The Cathar Secret (Sept. '14).
Setting: The Poison Secret is set against the rich cultural and historical backdrop of ancient and present-day Turkey. Audience: Fans of Dan Brown have praised Loomis's books and will also find The Poison Secret appealing. Like Brown, James Rollins, and Steve Berry, Loomis creates action-packed, fascinating narratives of historical events within a contemporary framework.
