Announcing New Arrival in Adult Fiction: Agape

by Thomas L. Corogin

From the book jacket:

"Beauty and intrigue are always present in national museums housing historical artifacts. But when a Greek-American becomes incensed by the display of ancient Greek art in a French museum, his epiphany leads him right into the grip of international espionage and personal heartache. Agape, the stunning debut novel of Thomas L. Corogin, is an action-packed thriller right from the very first page. The author's personal Greek heritage, not to mention his extensive knowledge of Greek history and geography, lends an authenticity to his words and a vibrancy to his characters and plotline. As the hero of Agape devises a plan to force the French to return the Greek antiquities to Greece, the French naturally resist and unleash their own clandestine plans to discredit and deny his actions. Such activity crosses international borders and includes the military execution of two French soldiers who were unsuccessful in their attempt to assassinate the Greek-American thorn in their side. All of the above leads to a rollercoaster ride of emotions as success and failure become blurred in the stirring climactic final chapters. Good may triumph over evil, but at what cost? Thomas L. Corogin delivers a heartfelt and compelling story, one that readers will not soon forget."
