Would
you pay the ultimate price for the ultimate knowledge?
I
have never written down the answers to the deepest mysteries, nor will I ever... The philosopher Plato wrote these
words more than two thousand years ago, following a perilous voyage to Italy --
an experience about which he never spoke again, but from which he emerged the
greatest thinker in all of human history.
Today,
twelve golden tablets sit in museums around the world, each created by unknown
hands and buried in ancient times, and each providing the dead with the route
to the afterlife. Archaeologist Lily Barnes, working on a dig in southern
Italy, has just found another. But this tablet names the location to the mouth
of hell itself.
And
then Lily vanishes. Has she walked out on her job, her marriage, and her life
-- or has something more sinister happened? Her husband, Jonah, is desperate to
find her. But no one can help him: not the police and not the secretive
foundation that sponsored her dig. All Jonah has is belief, and a determination
to do whatever it takes to get Lily back.
But like Plato before him, Jonah will discover the journey ahead
is mysterious and dark and fraught with danger. And not everyone who travels to
the hidden place where Lily has gone can return.
