Now one of the volumes, The Book of Spies, has surfaced, as have its clandestine owners—a cabal of the globe's most powerful, dangerous men. When the CIA discovers a connection between the legendary library and a bank account linked to terrorists, they bring in rare-books curator Eva Blake. Soon an attempt is made on Eva's life—and she is on the run. Determined not only to survive but to uncover the truth, Eva turns to the only person she can trust: Judd Ryder, a former intelligence officer with a troubled past and an agenda of his own. Racing from London to Rome, Istanbul to Athens, it's up to Judd and Eva to track down the gold-covered, bejeweled books in the fabulous library—and find a way to stay ahead of the men who will stop at nothing to protect their interests... and are dead-set on keeping their secrets hidden.

Ajo vjen nga një fëmijëri e varfër, por mbart edhe një të fshehtë të errët: është e dashura e kryeministrit Xhonatan Lankaster. Pasi Madalena zhduket në ishullin e Korsikës, mësohet se rrëmbyesit e saj janë në dijeni të këtij fakti dhe kanë ndër mend ta bëjnë kryeministrin britanik t'i paguajë shtrenjtë mëkatet e tij. Nga frika e një skandali që mund t'i shkatërrojë karrierën politike, Lankasteri vendos ta zgjidhë çështjen privatisht, pa përfshirë policinë. Gabriel Aloni, një vrasës dhe restaurues veprash arti, duhet ta gjejë Madalenën brenda shtatë ditësh, para se ta ekzekutojnë. Ai i hyn një loje të rrezikshme, ku asgjë nuk është ashtu siç duket dhe ku e vetmja gjë më e rrezikshme se armiqtë e tij, është e vërteta...
