But what first appears to be a simple case of stolen antiquities is so much more. At the heart of the theft is a mysterious Russian lab dedicated to harnessing the power of the occult, its malevolent director and a demonic Tibetan monk. The four men of faith confront an ancient evil, and a sinister conspiracy whose tentacles stretch from Stockholm to Singapore. What they face on a sacred Tibetan mountain shrouded in legend and myth will rattle all of them to their core. At the heart of the thriller is a Green Beret turned Priest who is an expert in the black market sale of stolen artifacts.
