David has carved a niche for himself in the world as a security consultant for an old established insurance firm, he recovers lost goods. However the latest investigation brings him into the world of strange abilities and superhuman powers. A building his firm insures has been broken into and 2 out of 3 of the villans are dead, the other one survived a fall that's impossible.
He recruits the help of american academic Susan Milton because one of the items stolen is a very old talisman. The stories about this talisman are far fetched, but what if they're true.

Billed as a British answer to the Da Vinci Code and the Rule of Four this is an interesting read, it kept me reading and curious to see whats going on. I also want to hunt up further books in this series, brain candy but fun.
