For three thousand years, the world's most dangerous treasure has been
lost. Now the code that reveals its hiding place is about to be
broken....
Sam Grant is a disgraced ex-SOE soldier and an adventurer by trade. But
he has a secret: six years ago, a dying archaeologist entrusted him with
his life's work--transcripts of mysterious writing found in a hidden
cave on Crete. Deciphered, it could lead to one of the greatest prizes
in history. But the treasure is as dangerous as it is valuable. The CIA
wants it; so does the KGB.
Helped by a brilliant Oxford professor, and a beautiful Greek
archaeologist with her own secrets to hide, Grant is plunged into a
labyrinth of ancient cults, forgotten mysteries, and lost civilizations.
But time is running out. The secrets of the distant past may hold the
key to the newest threats of the modern world....
