With her fiancé, ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase, Nina is determined to expose the Covenant of Genesis and the secret they will kill to conceal.

Mixing archeology with riveting action and suspense, Andy McDermott's novels have taken his readers on adventures around the world. If you enjoy exotic settings and historical background material, you'll find this a fascinating story.
