The Abraham Enigma

The Abraham Enigma
by Jack Lyon
Deseret Book, 2010, 191 pages, Fiction

FBI agent David Hunter's honeymoon with his new bride is interrupted by an important short term assignment to Cairo, Egypt. Fortunately, his boss says he can take his new wife with him all expenses paid. Once there they both become embroiled in a tense security situation at the U.S. Embassy. Somehow terrorist sympathizers have managed to infiltrate the embassy and are approving U.S visas for terrorists. As David comes closer to discovering who is responsible for what, he comes closer and closer to a terrorist plot that will endanger his own life and the life of the U.S. President.

While not a very complicated plot the setting is interesting and the references to hieroglyphic images and symbols woven into the plot will add extra interest for LDS readers. Readers who like clean LDS adventure and mystery novels will enjoy this fast moving read. Abraham Enigma is the sequel to The Moroni Code but it seemed to stand on its own quite well.
