City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

Lost books, ancient knowledge, secret societies and the CIA: The Da Vinci Code meets The Bourne Identity as the 'Queen of Espionage' launches a brand new history-rich, spy-laden conspiracy thriller trilogy For centuries, emperors, historians, and even the Vatican have tried to locate Ivan the Terrible's magnificent Library of Gold - a fabled archive of gilded, bejewelled scripts and lost knowledge dating back to the ancient Greeks. Now one volume, The Book of Spies, has surfaced, and along with it a shadowy cabal. When the CIA unearths a connection between the legendary library and a bank account linked to terrorists, they turn to rare books curator Eva Blake for help. When an attempt is made on Eva's life, she turns to the only person she can trust - Judd Ryder, a former intelligence agent with his own agenda a troubled past. Racing from London to Rome, Istanbul to Athens, Judd and Eva must use all their wit and tradecraft to stay ahead of the deadly forces hunting them. They must do what no one else has been able to do: find the library AND stay alive
