Lee Child From the number one bestselling author, Peter James,
comes an explosive standalone thriller for fans of Dan Brown that
will grip you and won't let go until the very last page.
Investigative reporter Ross Hunter nearly didn't answer the phone
call that would change his life - and possibly the world - for
ever. 'I'd just like to assure you I'm not a nutcase, Mr Hunter. My
name is Dr Harry F. Cook. I know this is going to sound strange,
but I've recently been given absolute proof of God's existence -
and I've been advised there is a writer, a respected journalist
called Ross Hunter, who could help me to get taken seriously.' What
would it take to prove the existence of God? And what would be the
consequences? This question and its answer lie at the heart of
Absolute Proof, an international thriller from bestselling author
Peter James. The false faith of a billionaire evangelist, the
life's work of a famous atheist, and the credibility of each of the
world's major religions are all under threat. If Ross Hunter can
survive long enough to present the evidence . . .
