A Novel
A sinister fire in a Copenhagen bookstore ignites a relentless hunt across four continents. Arson and murder reveal an insidious plot to steal a Bible that once belonged to Charles Darwin. A continent away, madness ravages a remote monastery high in Nepal as Buddhist monks turn to cannibalism and torture. And Painter Crowe, director of SIGMA Force, is already showing signs of the baffling malady .
