Steve Berry’s novel The Venetian Betrayal [ISBN 978 0 340 933442] is a heavy book and can be quite heavy-going at times. Like its predecessors (Da Vinci Code et al) it depends on how credulous the reader is able to be (and a great deal more credulous than The Da Vinci Code I can tell you). Its got quite a complex plot (albeit quite silly) but is quite an enjoyable read as the action moves pleasantly along for most of the time (and as book this size you can always skip the odd paragraph).

Featuring Cotton Malone who gets involved in a strange kind of search for something presumably to be found in Alexander the Great’s lost tomb (which at some point seems to have been confused with St Mark’s Tomb for some reason). Also searching for whatever it is, are the Venetian League (a secret group of international baddies) and the deranged leader of a new federation of former Soviet Republics. Its all about a cure for the biological weapons this leader has (she can’t release them without a cure). Cotton and his former partner Cassiopeia Vitt are all over the place trying to solve the problem and stop the baddies.
