"A.J. Hartley is a rare discovery: a writer capable of challenging a reader as much as he thrills . His latest novel, ON THE FIFTH DAY, careens at a breathless pace from dark crypts to exotic sunlit shores. Full of historical mystery, rife with intrigue and suspense, here is a tour-de-force sure to keep pages turning deep into the night." --James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Black Order	More info...
www.ajhartley.net Welcome to the Official website of New York Times Bestselling novelist A.J. Hartley "Not only is Hartley’s novel well paced, with enough twists and turns to keep most thriller fans satisfied, he avoids the missteps of most attempts to cash in on the Da Vinci Code zeitgeist by focusing on the faithful rather than freewheeling conspiracies; his is a welcome take that considers thoughtfully... issues of belief and doubt. ...This slam-bang title is a very fun, surprisingly satisfying read.

Extract from The Mask of Atreus by A.J. HartleyMulligrew swung himself up, climbing over the young German who had held them off with a machine pistol until they had riddled the truck with .30 caliber rounds. Inside was a single large crate, stenciled with a German eagle and swastika. He took the pick from the side of his tank, worked it under the top of the box, and leant his weight on it until the pine splintered and tore. Mulligrew heaved it aside and then stood quite still, staring in silence. What the Hell? “What is it, Andrew?” said Morris. “What do you see?” “I don’t know,” said Mulligrew, his voice hoarse with puzzlement, even fear. “I don’t know. Pretty wild stuff.”	Check out International Thriller Writers Inc. for links to news, reading lists, author interviews, events and all that is cool in the suspense fiction market.
