"For centuries, emperors, historians, and even the Vatican have tried to locate Ivan the Terrible's magnificent collection of lost works – the real-life Library of Gold. Now one of the volumes, The Book of Spies, has surfaced, and along with it the highly secret book club that owns the library. They form a cabal of the globe's most powerful men – men who will do anything to achieve their aims and protect their interests. Somehow the CIA must do what no one else has been able to do – find the library and stop them. When it discovers a connection between the legendary library and a bank account linked to terrorists, the CIA brings in rare books curator Eva Blake to help. Soon an attempt is made on Eva’s life, and she is on the run. Determined not only to survive but to uncover the truth, Eva turns to the one person she can trust – Judd Ryder, a former intelligence officer with a troubled past and his own agenda. Racing from London to Rome, Istanbul to Athens, Judd and Eva must use all of their wits and skills to stay ahead of the deadly forces hunting them, find the gold-covered, bejeweled books in the priceless library, and stop the men behind both while there is still time...."--p. [2] of cover.
