THE JOB WAS SIMPLE—steal some books from the locked collection of "forbidden books" in a monastery in Prague. And the goal was noble—use those books to identify artworks stolen by Napoleon so the art could be returned to its rightful owners. Simple and noble, or so thought Dan Lovel, a former agent with the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) who agrees to undertake the job with Martine Desmarais, an antiquities expert at the Louvre. But no sooner do they have the books in hand than everything goes to hell.
The monks and their allies chase them. A mysterious sniper opens fire. Dan, a Gypsy by heritage, discovers that Martine hates Gypsies. WORST OF ALL, when they reach Paris, they learn that one of the books contains a long-hidden secret that could generate enormous wealth if sold to parties who want to use it to ignite global chaos.
Competing forces will do anything to get that book. AND SOMEHOW THOSE FORCES HAVE LEARNED THAT DAN AND MARTINE HAVE IT.
READERS SAY:
"Could hardly put it down to eat!" --- "Breathtaking action." --- "Immensely intriguing plot." --- "I can't remember the last time I was so thoroughly engrossed." --- "Utterly gripping. One of the standout things … Dan is half gypsy, which makes for an unusual slant. The reader is led into the mysterious gypsy culture and I found this aspect intriguing."
