Description:

History, suspense, science, and adventure combine in this race against the clock that invites listeners to travel across 2,500 years-from ancient Mesopotamia to the Third Reich, from the British Museum to twenty-first-century Japan. Karen Holt is an agent with a very peculiar intelligence agency. Benjamin Hood is an investigator at the British Museum who doesn't know if he's coming or going and is cynical and foul-mouthed and has a peculiar sense of humor. She's investigating robberies of historical objects around the world; he's spending his holidays in France looking for a past love. But when a respectable historian who helped Karen track down some extraordinary thieves dies under strange circumstances, she finds no other option but to recruit Ben, albeit forcefully. What they will encounter will bewilder them. What they will discover will fascinate them. And what they will have to face could destroy them...
