An ancient secret. A terrorist cell. The truth will change everything.

Former soldier Marc O'Hara is acting as a reader for an intelligence service in London when the call comes in. He's to be re-activated as a field agent and assigned to solve a thirteenth century alchemical riddle.

A terrorist cell called the Red Death has the same goal. If the terrorists solve the clues first, they will unleash an ancient flesh-eating toxin. Even more alarming, they will possess the key to the most shrouded secret in history.

O'Hara and his partner, Kim Shahrokh, must follow obscure clues from Paris, to Egypt and Syria. Along the way, they discover hidden chambers full of lost ancient books, medieval automatons, and moldering creatures, some not as dead as they should be.

The more they uncover, the more O'Hara isn't sure who to trust in this quest. Is history a myth? Or has he simply ventured into a world populated by murderous madmen and fanatics.

Join agent O'Hara in this exhilarating Archeological Thriller from debut author Richard Bradley, where the past, present, and future all collide in a web of intrigue and deception.
