Thank you for all your suggestions. I've made a bunch of changes in my query. But, I'm still not sure if my 'hook' should be at the beginning or the end. Please let me know what you think.
Erin Matthews has had archaeology in her blood since she was a little girl. Her grandfather enticed her into the field with his stories of exotic places and amazing discoveries. Now, a noted archaeologist herself, Erin is leading a group at a dig on a tiny Greek Island. The team is exhausted, but exuberant. They’ve recently unearthed another ancient clay jar filled with mysterious parchments. Preliminary translations both excite and frighten Erin. They suggest the story of the crucifixion has serious flaws.
The Sons of Light, a Judaic Christian sect, has been following Erin and her team and learn about their discoveries. Almost two thousand years ago, members of the sect dedicated their lives to protect the secret of the parchments. Chased, shot at, even kidnapped, the team is determined to continue their research. A final bloody attack forces Erin to rethink her options. Should she continue risking the lives of her team to achieve her own fame and notoriety or give up the opportunity to expose the volatile 2000-year old secret? If the story in the letters is true, it was Joseph, a little known brother of Jesus, who was crucified in his place.
THE LAST SECRET is a 97,000-word thriller.
Thank you for your consideration.
