Mystery Historical | Thriller
Nothing decays on the north coast, not even faith. Archaeologists Jila Wells and Ben Juarez are not thrilled
at the prospect of returning to Peru; the ambush that
nearly cost Jila her still haunts her. But the ruined
pyramids at Santiago de Paz hide an important document
that would shock the Islamic world. Professor Sandy
Beckham is assembling a distinguished team to dig quickly
through the pyramid complex, following clues found in the
diary of a wealthy Muslim woman who lived in Spain nearly
five centuries ago. In the diary are details of an illegal expedition to
Spanish Peru in three well-armed ships. Convinced that
Spain was forever lost to Islam, Diego Ibanez intended to
bring the word of Allah to the pagan Americans. Landing on
Peru’s north coast, he learned that the fires of the
Inquisition burned even hotter there than they did in
Spain. As the archaeologists brace for the ravaging storms of El
Niño, Jila and Ben hurry to complete their excavations.
But they’re not the only ones interested in this project.
Other forces are determined that the document remain
hidden. Should it be discovered, a challenge could be made
under Islamic testamentary law to the throne of Saudi
Arabia. And the House of Saud has no interest in sharing
power with an American caliphate that might now awaken
from a five hundred year slumber.
