April 2003: an Iraqi boy loots an ancient clay tablet from a
long-forgotten vault in the Baghdad Museum of Antiquities.
Years later, at a rally for the signing of a historic deal
between Israel and the Palestinians, a suspected assassin
pushes through the crowd toward the Israeli prime minister.
Bodyguards shoot the man dead. But in his hand there is no
gun—only a blood-stained note. A series of seemingly random revenge killings follows and
tensions boil over. Washington calls in star
peace-negotiator Maggie Costello. With her relationship in
trouble and old sins to atone for, Maggie finds herself in
an impossible situation, especially when she discovers the
murders are not random. Someone is killing archaeologists and historians—those who
know the buried secrets of the ancient past. Menaced on all
sides by violent extremists, Costello is plunged into a
mystery rooted in the last unsolved riddle of the Bible. The
truth could end hostilities—or spark the war to end all wars.
