Publisher's Synopsis
Nineteen forty-five: While liberating a concentration camp, an American medical unit uncovers something beneath a body-filled trench. Sixty years later, the survivors of that unit are systematically murdered because of what they saw. The present. Enter former Palestinian-American detective Ben Kamal and his Israeli counterpart Danielle Barnea. Working for the United Nations now, Ben and Danielle return to the Middle East to investigate a massacre in a Palestinian village. They quickly uncover the fact that the roots of that massacre lie elsewhere, in another era on another continent. While Ben follows the trail of the shadowy force responsible, Danielle finds herself swept into a maelstrom where the past and the present collide, joined by an ancient text of prophecies that predicts a cataclysmic event about to strike the United States. The only way to prevent it is to decipher a cryptic message shrouded in secrecy and guarded by a secret army.
