You'll recognize the formula: a historical artifact unlocks modern treachery, heroes with unwavering moral compasses dismantle shadowy cabals, and exotic locales become both classroom and battlefield.
Berry's prose respects your intelligence and your time, delivering high-octane resolutions without drowning you in ambiguity. This is globe-trotting escapism for readers who believe cunning and conviction should always triumph over moral relativism.
Ancient financial conspiracies meet modern heroism—exactly where you want to be.
