Synopsis
Naples, 1750. In the dead of the night, three men with swords burst into the palazzo of a marquis. The intruders' leader, the Prince of San Severo, accuses the marquis of being an impostor, and demands to know a secret that he believes the man harbours. In the fight that ensues, the false marquis escapes over the rooftops, leaving behind a burning palazzo and a raging prince who is now obsessed with finding his quarry at any cost. Baghdad, 2003. An American army unit hunting down Saddam's inner circle makes a horrifying discovery: a state-of-the-art, concealed lab where dozens - men, women, children - have died after enduring gruesome experiments. The mysterious scientist they were after, a man believed to be working on a bioweapons program and known only as the hakeem - the doctor - escapes, taking with him the startling truth about his work. A puzzling clue is left behind, crudely carved into the wall of one of the underground prison's cells: a circular symbol of a snake feeding on its own tail. So begins Raymond Khoury's explosive new novel, placing two bold women at the centre of the action as they get caught up in a murderous trail of ancient clues.

From AudioFile
If not for the silky smooth voice of Richard Ferrone, this would be just another story about the search for a long buried secret artifact and the eruption of life-changing consequences. Ferrone, a master craftsman when it comes to scene changes, shifts in an instant from the excitement of the chase to outright suspense. In this mostly predictable tale, you have the inevitable Middle East connection, the race against time with the villains, the evil doctor, and the disclosure of the prize. But at very least, you have a narrator who never misses a beat and generates more than enough excitement to last to the end.
