American archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, ex-SAS bodyguard
Eddie Chase, search for King Midas's legacy in the latest thrilling
adventure in Andy McDermott's globe-spanning series.
For Nina Wilde and her ex-SAS husband Eddie Chase, locating the
legendary lost city of Atlantis was just the beginning of an even
greater quest: to discover what mysterious treasure drew an ancient
Atlantean explorer to the Himalayas. But they're unaware of the risks
they face, the secrets gathering around them, and the powerful forces
desperate to possess history's greatest prize.
High in the snowbound peaks, Nina and Eddie uncover a cave guarded by
Buddhist monks. There, a shadowy enemy awaits them. And after a vicious
battle, Nina finds herself with a fragment of a millennia-old
puzzle--and questions only one person can answer: her long-lost
grandmother. Drawing on her family's painful secrets, Nina gains
knowledge that will lead her and Eddie from a remote Icelandic retreat
to the Hermit Kingdom of North Korea--and expose the shocking truth
about the mythical King Midas and a terrifying plot that could doom all
humankind.
