C.M. Palov is a Washington DC native who decided to put a
love of action-adventure flicks, a degree in Art History,
and an obsession with biblical conspiracy theory to good
use. The result is her debut novel ARK OF FIRE, an
esoteric thriller in which a museum photographer witnesses a
brutal murder and the theft of an ancient Hebrew artifact.
On the run, the cops in on the murder, she joins forces with
a former MI5 intelligence officer. Together they must solve
a series of puzzles embedded in verse, stained glass, and
cyber space as they attempt to stop a sinister army of
mercenaries from obtaining the ultimate weapon of mass
destruction — the Ark of the Covenant. ARK OF
FIRE will be released in the UK (Penguin) in July 2009
and in the US (Berkley) in December 2009. The sequel THE
HERETIC'S TALE is due out in 2010.
FYI — C.M. Palov is the pen name for Chloe Palov who
decided to go the initials route at the suggestion of her UK
publisher, the ruling consensus being that overly feminine
first names and high-octane action scenes do not mix.
