The Magdalene Cipher

“[An] intelligent and pulse-pounding” thriller about a CIA agent who discovers a conspiracy rooted in ancient history (Publishers Weekly).

The ritualistic slaughter of a college professor right under the nose of CIA agent Jack Dunphy has damned the disgraced operative to a living hell of paper-pushing obscurity. But Dunphy's not ready to surrender his career until he uncovers the truth behind his demotion — embarking on a covert investigation that's leading him into a world he never dreamed existed. And following a twisted trail of lies, Jack's about to become ensnared in a monstrous international web spun by a secret society as old as civilization. Escape is impossible—because the players are too powerful, the consequences are too deadly . . . and what's at stake is no less than the destiny of the human race.

“[F]illed with mysterious omens and just enough nasty violence to give it an edge.” —Kirkus Reviews
