INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Gideon Crew--brilliant scientist, master thief--is living on borrowed time. When his mysterious employer, Eli Glinn, gives him an eyebrow-raising mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon's task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells, now on display in New York City and protected by unbreakable security. Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchment--only to learn that hidden beneath the gorgeously illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks. As they ponder the strange map, they realize that the treasure it leads to is no ordinary fortune. It is something far more precious: an amazing discovery that could perhaps even save Gideon's life.

There, off the hostile and desolate Mosquito Coast, the pair realize the extraordinary treasure they are hunting conceals an even greater shock-a revelation so profound that it may benefit the entire human race . . . if Gideon and Amy can survive.

A romantic week at a luxury resort on a secluded private island. Sun, sand, surf and romantic moonlight walks on the beach. Tracy Markous couldn’t imagine a more enjoyable vacation for her and her husband, Police Lieutenant Nick Markous. For the next seven days there was going to be absolutely no work. No emergencies. No midnight phone calls because there were no outside telephone lines on the island. Also no cell service. No Wi-Fi. And no television. Nothing to do but relax and enjoy their time together. The perfect romantic getaway. What she didn’t count on were the sinister shadows hiding under the bright sunshine. Conspiracies, missing husbands, and mobsters, were the last thing she expected—or wanted. They certainly weren’t covered in the brochure. As the body count began to climb, Nick evolved from relaxed resort guest to unofficial investigator. Nick the cop replaced Nick the husband.
