Fate has no mercy - David Creed

Fate Has No Mercy describes the path followed by one man on his way to an archaeological discovery, potentially of extraordinary importance, his crisis of conscience, and the cruel decisions he must take: if he publishes his findings, he may well seriously damage the lives of people he has come to hold in high esteem, people who recently, in fact, saved him from a cruel death. There appears no acceptable way out of his dilemma, until he encounters a woman from his past whose unforgettable image and plight have dogged his memory for 20 years. This woman will go on to fulfill the role which—one suspects—was destined to be hers from the outset.
