Gideon Crew is living on borrowed time. When his mysterious employer, Eli Glinn, gives him an eyebrow-raising mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon's task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells, now on display in New York City and protected by unbreakable security. Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon learns that hidden beneath the parchment is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks. As he ponders the strange map, he realises that the treasure it leads to is no ordinary fortune. It is something far more precious: a discovery that could save his life. Together with his new partner, Amy, Gideon follows a trail of cryptic clues to an unknown island in a remote corner of the Caribbean Sea. There, the pair realise the extraordinary treasure they are hunting conceals an even greater shock - a revelation so profound that it may benefit the entire human race.
