Graduate students Jonathan and Michael
Rickner, sons of eminent archeologist Sir William Rickner, are no
strangers to historical mysteries and archeological adventures. But when
Michael is discovered dead in his Washington, D.C. apartment, Jon
refuses to believe the official ruling of suicide. Digging deeper into
his brother’s work, he discovers evidence that Michael was murdered to
keep his dissertation research buried.
A DEVASTATING NATIONAL SECRET
Joined
by Michael’s fiancée Mara Ellison, Jon travels to New York where he
uncovers the threads of a deadly Depression-era conspiracy – one
entangling the Hoover Administration, the Rockefellers, and the rise of
Nazi Germany – and the elite cadre of assassins that still guard its
unspeakable secret.
THE LABYRINTHINE PATH TO THE TRUTH
Finding
themselves in the crosshairs of the same men who killed Michael, Jon
and Mara must navigate a complex web of historical cover-ups and
modern-day subterfuge, outwitting and outrunning their all-powerful
pursuers as they race through the monuments and museums of Manhattan in a
labyrinthine treasure hunt to discover the last secret of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., before their enemies can bury the truth – and them –
forever.
