In the powerful new thriller from the author of the
international bestseller The Last Templar, a geneticist and
a CIA agent on a deadly quest to find the most dangerous
book in the world discover a secret that has destroyed
everyone in its path for centuries. Naples, 1750. In the dead of night, three men with swords
burst into the palazzo of a marquis. Their leader, the
Prince of San Severo, accuses the marquis of being an
imposter, and demands to know a secret only the marquis
harbors. In the fight that ensues, the false marquis
escapes over the rooftops of Naples, leaving behind a
burning palazzo and a raging prince now obsessed with
finding his quarry at any cost. Baghdad, 2003. An army unit on a routine mission makes a
horrifying discovery: a state- of-the-art, concealed lab
where dozens—men, women, children—have died, the subjects
of gruesome experiments. The mysterious scientist they were
after, a man believed to be working on a bioweapon and
known only as the hakeem—the doctor—escapes, taking with
him the startling truth about his work. A puzzling clue is
left behind: a circular symbol of a snake feeding on its
own tail.
