The Clark's Tale — John Cadden

A dysfunctional academic, a confused psychologist, a militant activist, a Vivien Westwood-obsessed hitman, a shadowy presence in cyberspace…..and a mystery going back to King Arthur's last battle at Camlann. The Clark's Tale has more twists than a schizophrenic corkscrew. The vibrant narrative moves between Biblical Judea, Roman Britain and the present day �" driven by a style of writing that is dramatically arresting and darkly comic. Described as “a thinking person's page-turner”, this is a world of smoke and mirrors, coincidences and contradictions, illusions and delusions. It weaves seductively through the arcane and the mystical �" but is finally resolved by a truth that is shockingly and grimly mundane. Ultimately, it is a book about secrets �" especially those we keep from ourselves…….
