A mysterious Templar code has eluded scholars for centuries.

Does the key to unlocking its explosive message lie buried with Columbus?

Rookie State Department lawyer Jaqueline Quartermane was never much good at puzzles.

But now, assigned to investigate the ritual murder of an American missionary in Ethiopia, she must solve the world's oldest palindrome—the infamous SATOR Square—to thwart a religious conspiracy that reaches back to the 15th century and a secretive monastic order of Portuguese sea explorers.

Separated by half a millennium, two espionage plots dovetail in this breakneck dual-period thriller, driven by history's most closely guarded mystery . . .

. . . the shocking secret that Christopher Columbus took to the grave.

Join the gripping search for The Virgin of the Wind Rose.
