Book Description:
Arson and murder reveal an insidious plot to steal a Bible that once belonged to Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory. And Commander Gray Pierce dives headlong into a mystery that dates back to Nazi Germany . . . A continent away, madness ravages [the minds of monks in] a remote monastery high in Nepal.... Lisa Cummings, a young American doctor investigating the atrocity, is suddenly a target of a bru-tal assassin working for clandestine forces that want the affair buried at any cost. Lisa's only ally is a hidden pilgrim, Painter Crowe....who is already showing signs of the baffling malady that destroyed the minds of the monks. Now it is up to Gray Pierce to save both Painter and Lisa -- and a world in jeopardy.....

This book had intrigue, science, history. Great read! I think the best so far by this author. If you like mystery, intrigue, with a little romance thrown in, take a chance on this. You will not be disappointed.

An intersting novel dealing with faith, quantum physics and the pursuit for evolution of the fittest. A good read.
