David asked me to express his boundless thanks and gratitude to the Independent Publisher Award voters and judges who, earlier today, awarded The Cana Mystery 2014's National Silver Medal for Thriller/Suspense fiction.  David is grateful to Peter, Elaine, and the incredibly talented and dedicated staff at Tuscany Press whose teamwork helped bring The Cana Mystery to life.

Click here to read a great review from Daniel Lin in Australia.

Highlights include:

"The Cana Mystery is a very good read; it is difficult to put it down once you start reading it."

"Some have compared [The Cana Mystery] with The Da Vinci Code, but I think it is more similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Having said this, I did some research on the historical facts mentioned in the book, and they all turned out to be accurate.  By reading this book, I've learnt a fair bit of history ...  I think the quality of this book is far superior to The Da Vinci Code."

"The characters are well portrayed, the story is very well written, and the plot moves at a very fast pace.  ... This plot is interesting and has some surprising twists and turns."

"[The Cana Mystery] is categorized as Catholic fiction.  Yet, it does not seek to preach like a broken record player.  Instead, the story and the central characters displayed core Christian virtues.  This is the first time I am reading Catholic fiction, and I am impressed.  I hope David Beckett will write a sequel to this book, because this stuff is truly great."

Thanks to Emily Zendt (http://emilyczendt.com) and the staff at Lake Country Life magazine for the terrific book review.  "The Cana Mystery is an Amazon best seller.  It's an enjoyable work of fiction that keeps true to the history of the Catholic Church and ... treats matters of faith with delicacy."  (Dec. 11, 2013)
