Dunhaung, China 1908 – An archaeologist
discovers an ancient temple, but legendary library rumoured to be at its heart
is what he really wants to find.
The present - Archeologist, Dr Sasha
Blake has been studying a replica of an ancient manuscript. Offered
sponsorship by a wealthy silk trader, Jon Solomon, she is desperate to locate
the original and four powerful rings that accompany it. But her investor
is hiding terrible secrets.
As Sasha begins to realise the truth about
Solomon she becomes the bait in a web of conspiracy set up by a covert organisation, The Agency, and
Agent Tom Sheridan is her only ally.
Can Sheridan and Blake find the
manuscript in time to stop Solomon, or are they about to fall into his trap?
PROLOGUE
SECRET LOCATION SOMEWHERE IN PARIS - PRESENT DAY
He watched while his men
dragged the detainee towards the holding cell. Bound, gagged and
hooded, she fought them as they bundled her towards him.
He didn’t know why he’d
taken up smoking again, all he knew was that he enjoyed the head rush and warmth
in his throat. It made him feel alive, when most of the time all he felt was
numb.
His hands started to shake,
he needed the reassurance and the kick right now, but would have to wait until
after the interrogation. He slid the cigarette into his shirt pocket and folded
his arms, steadying himself, building up courage.
He’d done this a thousand
times. Usually the people he questioned were real scumbags, they deserved what
was coming to them. But not this time. This one would be the worst of his career.
This one meant something.
