Thriller
An irresistible treasure, two master thieves, and a secret
as old as mankind . . . Michael St. Pierre, a reformed
master thief, thinks he has left his criminal days far
behind him, when he receives word that his best friend,
Simon, has been locked up and sentenced to die in a brutal
desert prison. Breaking into jail for the first time
in his
checkered career, Michael is stunned to discover that his
new girlfriend, KC, is connected to Simon's case. With a
madman on their heels, the three adventurers make their
way to Istanbul in search of the mysterious artifact that
landed Simon behind bars in the first place: a map
containing the location of a holy place lost to the mists
of time, a repository of knowledge and treasure predating
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Testing their courage
and wits, Michael and his team are forced to plot a series
of daring thefts that take them inside some of the city's
most celebrated (and heavily guarded) sanctums, from the
imperial harem of Topkapi Palace to the tombs of the Hagia
Sophia itself. More than priceless artifacts are at
stakethe lives of loved ones and perhaps the fate of
humanity itself hang in the balance. A globe-trotting
adventure that wings from the glittering banks of the
Bosporus to the highest peaks of the Himalayas, The Thieves
of Darkness confirms Richard Doetsch's place as the
modern-day master of pulse-pounding suspense.
