An unbreakable cipher, a dead priest with expensive shoes, a hermit who
has conversations with saints, an angry French girl, a guardian angel
with attitude, a murderous master criminal, and a gaggle of angry demons
might stop an ordinary fifteen-year-old safe-cracking genius, but not
Percy St.-John. He's out to prove he did not steal a mysterious ancient
book that may hold the key to mankind's greatest hope and greatest
danger.
E.A. Allen is a History Professor, cattle farmer, and retired C.I.A.
intelligence officer. When he's not out chasing straying cows that have
no respect for fences, or tracking-down undergraduates who have no
respect for assignment deadlines, he's at his desk, writing mysteries in
the great tradition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and
Dorothy L. Sayers.
