Summary
When his son is kidnapped and his bookshop destroyed, Cotton Malone embarks on a desperate race against time to uncover clues to the whereabouts of the long-lost Library of Alexandria, a priceless treasury of thousands of ancient manuscripts that vanished more than 1,500 years ago, unaware that finding the lost cache could have dire consequences for the balance of world power. (Suspense)
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Cotton Malone retired from the high-risk world of elite operatives for the U.S. Justice Department to lead the low-key life of a rare-book dealer. But his quiet existence is shattered when he receives an anonymous e-mail: âYou have something I want. Youâre the only person on earth who knows where to find it. Go get it. You have 72 hours. If I donât hear from you, you will be childless.â His horrified ex-wife confirms that the threat is real: Their teenage son has been kidnapped. When Maloneâs Copenhagen bookshop is burned to the ground, it becomes brutally clear that those responsible will stop at nothing to get what they want. And what they want is nothing less than the lost Library of Alexandria.
A cradle of ideasâhistorical, philosophical, literary, scientific, and religiousâthe Library of Alexandria was unparalleled in the world. But fifteen hundred years ago, it vanished into the mists of myth and legendâits vast bounty of wisdom coveted ever since by scholars, fortune hunters, and those who believe its untold secrets hold the key to ultimate power.
Now a cartel of wealthy international moguls, bent on altering the course of history, is desperate to breach the libraryâs hallowed hallsâand only Malone possesses the information they need to succeed. At stake is an explosive ancient document with the potential not only to change the destiny of the Middle East but to shake the worldâs three major religions to their very foundations.
Pursued by a lethal mercenary, Malone crosses the globe in search of answers. His quest will lead him to England and Portugal, even to the highest levels of American governmentâand the shattering outcome, deep in the Sinai desert, will have worldwide repercussions.
