When fragments of stone covered in a mysterious ancient script are found in Egypt, archaeologist Gabrielle Gusack persuades her mentor, antiquities chief Akil Mansoor, to call in Daniel Klein, an expert in Semitic Languages. Despite Mansoor's scepticism, Daniel and Gaby think the stones date back to the Biblical period. But others are determined to prevent the facts from seeing the light of day. Framed for murder and forced to go on the run, Daniel and archaeologist Gabrielle Gusack are pursued across the Middle East by a ruthless killer who works for a shadowy figure in Washington DC. As they try to stay one step ahead of their hunter, they realize that the secret of the stones is only the beginning... and the truth could cost millions of lives. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown.
