The internationally bestselling thriller with an audacious blend of science, history, and suspense from the author of The Marks of Cain and The Lost Goddess.
War-reporter Rob Luttrell is expecting a soft assignment when he's sent to Kurdistan to cover the excavation of the world's oldest human civilization. But, soon after he arrives, the site is violated, first by sabotage—and then by death. Meanwhile, a Scotland Yard detective investigating a series of spectacularly grisly murders discovers a link between the victims and what is happening in Kurdistan. As the two men race to prevent more deaths, they close in on a biblical era secret that will shake the foundations of the modern world. For readers of the action and suspense books of Raymond Khoury, Kate Mosse, Douglas Preston, Daniel Suarez, and Lincoln Child.
