Description
Scientist. Prodigy. (Semi-retired) thief.
Meet Gideon Crew – a secret agent unlike any you've met before.
Gideon Crew is living on borrowed time. When his mysterious employer gives him an eyebrow-raising mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon's task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells.
Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchment– only to learn that hidden beneath the illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks.
Together with his new partner, Amy, Gideon follows a trail of cryptic clues to an unknown island in the Caribbean Sea. There, the pair realize the extraordinary treasure they are hunting conceals a revelation so profound that it may benefit the entire human race… if Gideon and Amy can survive.
