As Adam Scott opens the yellowed envelope bequeathed to him in his father's will, an incredible drama begins. The terrible secret that shadowed his father's military career unfolds a time bomb of intrigue, passion and greed, reaching back to the Nazi plunder of Europe...into the mysterious heart of Tsarist Russia. In the deepest vault of a Swiss bank, Scott discovers a priceless icon, the key to a shocking document that could forever change the balance of power between America and the Soviet Union. Few men know of its existence. All will kill for it. When his lover is suddenly kidnapped, Scott is forced to flee across Europe, fighting desperately for his life against the KGB, the CIA, and even his own countrymen.
