An attempt to get closer to her late husband by pursuing his research leads senior Justice Department official Stephanie Nelle to a book auction in Copenhagen...and to a series of attacks by a mysterious organization. Coming to her aid is Cotton Malone, one of her former subordinates, now an antiquarian bookseller, who recovers the skills of his previous profession as the two battle with various cabals to locate and possess the long-lost treasure of the Templars.
