Publisher's Synopsis
Two murders at opposite ends of America - one in the back streets of New York, the other in the back woods of Montana. Then a series of killings in every corner of the globe, from the crowded slums of India to the pristine beaches of Cape Town. Will Monroe, a young, British-born reporter on The New York Times, feels there can't possibly be a connection between the events... Until the morning his beautiful wife Beth is kidnapped. Holding her are men who seem ready to kill without hesitation. Desperate, Will follows a trail that leads to a mysterious sect right on his own doorstep - fervent followers of mankind's oldest faith. He will have to break through multiple layers of mysticism and ancient prophecy, unearthing riddles buried deep in the Bible - until he finds the secret that is said to have animated the world for thousands of years, a secret on which the fate of humanity may depend.
