Rachel Cutler loves her job and her kids, and remains civil to her ex-husband, Paul. But everything changes when her father dies under suspicious circumstances, leaving behind clues to a treasure called the Amber Room, one of the most intriguing mysteries of the last century.
Desperate for the truth, Rachel takes off for Germany, with Paul close behind. Before long, they're in over their heads. Locked into a treacherous game with professional killers, Rachel and Paul find themselves on a collision course with the forces of greed, power and history itself...'Sexy, illuminating, and confident... my kind of thriller - a globe-trotting treasure hunt packed with exotic locales, sumptuous art, and ruthless villains' -- Dan Brown 'Magnificently engrossing, with wonderful characters and a plot that speeds, twists, and turns. Pure intrigue. Pure fun.' -- Clive Cussler 'Captivating, well-plotted... Combines the pace and style of Brown's DA VINCI CODE and the densely plotted espionage of Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon novels' -- Florida Times-Union 'A riveting cat-and-mouse game set within the world of international art thieves, assassins, and age-old rivalries' -- James Rollins, author of SANDSTORM and ICE HUNT 'Writes with the self-assured style of a veteran' -- Dan Brown on Steve Berry 'Steve Berry is a writer on the rise.' -- David Morrell, author of NIGHTSCAPE and CREEPERS
