AN ANCIENT LIBRARY
Ivan the Terrible's Library of Gold was a legendary archive of secret knowledge. It vanished from history centuries ago... Now one of its fabled volumes has come to light.

A MODERN CONSPIRACY
The CIA has linked the long-lost book, a shadowy cabal, and a terrifying new threat to global security: the library must be found. But with one agent already murdered for knowing too much, who will take up the hunt?

A DEADLY MISSION
Rare books expert Eva Blake is determined to clear her name after a spell behind bars. Judd Ryder is a one-time spy with a troubled past. Both have nothing to lose, except their lives. Racing from London to Rome, Istanbul to Athens, these desperate treasure hunters must find the library - before its keepers find them.
