Antiquarian bookseller Harry Blade is hired to appraise a four hundred year old journal bequeathed to a wealthy landowner. At first, it appears to be only the curiously coded diary of a young cabin boy aboard Sir Walter Raleigh's celebrated 1585 Elizabethan expedition. But when Harry's client is murdered and his own life is threatened, he realized that he's opened the door to a mystery worth killing for.Enlisting the aid of eminent map dealer Zola Khan, Harry uncovers something else. Buried in the cryptic writings are puzzling references to a "secret purpose," terrified revalations of murder at sea and an astonishing discloures: the location of an invaluable holy relic thought lost for more than a thousand years
