Synopsis

Emily Hudson has devoted her life to rescuing the priceless artifacts and relics so often overlooked in the horrors of war until it's too late. Dodging bandits, side-stepping explosives and traveling from one treacherous hot-spot to another isn't easy, but it's a job Emily is perfectly suited for, having no roots to hold her to any one place for long. Until one day, when the ultimate danger comes looking for Emily and her team. Two weeks later, the CIA calls in John Garrett, a mercenary who's carved a life for himself on the fringes, working for agencies so shadowy they hardly have names. It would be all too easy to turn down such a risky assignment, but something about Emily's plight speaks to him. He knows only one thing about her: if she's still alive, she's a fighter. And he's her only hope for survival. But for Emily, survival is no longer enough. She's known horrors so sadistic they redefine evil, and lived to tell the talk. And starting now, she wants revenge... With lightning-fast pacing, heart-pumping plot twists and shocking betrayals, Iris Johansen is at the top of her game in this latest thriller.

What began as an innocent mission
Emily Hudson is a renowned archaeologist who travels the world to save priceless artifacts from theft or destruction. Her best friend and partner, Joel Levy, is always at her side―until one day, when her entire crew comes under attack. Joel and Emily are held hostage by a sadistic captor who is determined to find the missing link to a legendary treasure. For weeks they struggle to survive against terrifying odds, pushed to their limits―and beyond...

has become a desperate race for survival...
John Garrett has worked for the CIA, British intelligence, and whoever else was willing to pay for his services. This time, a Washington operative hands him what at first appears to be just another assignment: to track down, and save, Emily and Joel. But it quickly becomes much more, especially when Garrett finds himself drawn to someone as dauntless and bent on revenge as Emily. Soon, they're catapulted into an astonishing adventure in which nothing―and no one―is what it seems. And lives hang in the balance as one man and one woman unravel the explosive truth behind a conspiracy hidden for generations.
