Lion Heart [electronic resource]
Cartwright, Justin2013
eBook
Richie Cathars father, Alaric, was a renaissance man: an intellectual, explorer, archaeologist and historian. He was also a man of the sixties: a fantasist, absentee parent and drug abuser. Alaric named his son after his hero, Richard, Coeur de Lion, but left him little when he died apart from conflicting memories. Now Richie, thirty-something, is in search of his own role... Following his fathers trail to the Holy Land to research the Art of the Medieval Latin Kingdom, Richies quest to uncover the fate of Christianitys most sacred relic and the truth about his father takes him from the high-table intrigue of Oxford to the imposing Crusader castles of Jordan, and into a passionate love affair with Noor, a Canadian-Arab journalist, whose fate will become entwined with Richies own. Shot through with Justin Cartwrights trademark sharp observation and heartbreaking drama, Lion Heart is a thrilling, romantic and original work from one of our finest novelists.
