Mark David is the author of the epic new series The Elements, an almost impossibly ambitious mystery-thriller series on a vast scale breaking the bounds of contemporary fiction, while bounded in time and place by the twentieth century in the years 1917-1989.
7 elements, 7 deceptions, 7 revelations, this is a high-concept mystery-thriller series that works across multiple characters and timelines, from the cold war to discoveries in Egypt during the First World War, the series brings it all together.
