For centuries, emperors, historians, and even the Vatican
have tried to locate Ivan the Terrible’s magnificent Library
of Gold — a long-missing archive containing gold-covered,
bejeweled books dating all the way back to the ancient
Greeks. Now one of the volumes, The Book of Spies, has
surfaced, and along with it the highly secret book club that
owns the Library of Gold. They form a cabal of the globe’s
most powerful men – men who will do anything to achieve
their aims and protect their interests. When the CIA
discovers a connection between the legendary library and a
bank account linked to terrorists, they turn to rare books
curator Eva Blake for help. Soon an attempt is made on Eva’s
life. Determined not only to survive but to uncover the
truth, Eva turns to the only person she can trust—Judd
Ryder, a former intelligence agent with his own agenda and a
troubled past. Together, Judd and Eva embark on an
international adventure from London to Rome, Istanbul, and
Athens. Somehow they must do what no one else has been able
to do – find the library and stay alive.
