Summary
The face of
evil.
And the face of greed…
The video showed a nearly naked man bloodied and beaten.
Even as archaeologist and TV presenter Annja Creed watched, the
clock on his suicide vest ticked down, and precious seconds
were lost. But this was no stranger. Garin was her friend.
Their fates had been bound by the secrets of Joan of Arc's
sword. And Annja had less than twenty-four hours to save his
life….
The price for Garin's life was the lost mask of
Torquemada, rumored to have been cast by the Grand Inquisitor
himself, five hundred years ago during the Spanish Inquisition.
Abandoned crypts, lost palaces and a cruel and ancient
brotherhood: all clues to the mask's complicated and deadly
mystery that Annja, and her mentor, Roux—using all of
their considerable resources and cunning—must solve
before Garin runs out of time.
Annja Creed is facing her greatest trial. And not even
the holy sword of Joan of Arc can spare her from the final
judgment.
