About the book
Steve Berry is back with an electrifying new adventure that puts Cotton Malone and his family in serious danger - and forces Cotton to confront a mind-boggling truth that was long ago taken from the legendary Library of Alexandria. The Library of Alexandria was the most ambitious and significant collection of ancient knowledge ever assembled. Standing for 600 years, at its peak, it housed over 500,000 manuscripts. However, 1500 years ago, it disappeared without a trace. There has been no archaeological evidence found of the main library to this day.
Now, Cotton Malone is faced with a frantic visit from his ex-wife, who reveals that their son has been abducted. Soon after, Malone's bookstore is under attack - all because he is the only person who knows the location of the Alexandria link, the key to uncovering the lost library. But delving into that hidden repository of knowledge, secrets concealed for over a thousand years, will have serious repercussions - not only for Malone himself, but also for the global balance of power.
