It's a strange kind of robbery: nothing is missing and the only damage done is to the criminals. David Braun, star investigator for an exclusive insurance firm, discovers the truth that the crime was intended to conceal. Behind it all, a ruthless thief, who is intent on acquiring a priceless antique - an antique with a bloody history its owners would prefer to keep hidden. Susan Milton, an expert in exotic antiques, must unearth the object's past to make sense of the present. When she takes on the project she has no idea that her research will put her life in danger. As David and Susan learn to work together the pieces begin to fall into place, but the more they find out, the less they believe. Caught between powerful enemies and being hunted by a killer the police cannot catch, their only hope is to stay one step ahead. They know enough to put them in the worst danger of their lives. Will it also be enough to save them? Then ...the story continues in "Ex Machina".

Since leaving the States, Susan Milton's life has been a little quiet, but all that's about to change. A man named David Braun will contact the London School of Antiquities and ask for her help. He's on the trail of some unusual stolen property and Susan is the closest thing to an expert on its history - a blood-soaked history that goes back thousands of years.David will need all the help he can get as he finds himself working for a sinister client he does not trust and chasing a thief no one seems able to catch. Together they make a good team - both smart, capable and able to keep their heads in a crisis - which is just as well because the pair are about to find themselves in serious danger and out of their depth. Caught between the thief and the secretive organisation he stole from, they will need to discover the truth about the thief's mission if they are to stay alive - a truth that neither of them is prepared for.
