The Alexandria Link

Cotton Malone left the dangerous world of top U.S. Justice Department operations to become a low-key rare book merchant. However, the peaceful life he leads is upended by an unidentified email he gets that says, "You have something I want." The only person on the planet who is aware of its location is you. Get it now. You've got two weeks. You will be childless if I don't hear from you. His shocked ex-wife attests to the fact that their teenage son has been abducted, proving that the danger is genuine. Malone's Copenhagen bookstore is destroyed by fire, making it abundantly evident that people in charge would do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. And the lost Library of Alexandria is exactly what they seek.

The Library of Alexandria was the world's greatest repository of ideas, encompassing literary, scientific, philosophical, historical, and religious domains. However, it disappeared into the mists of myth and legend fifteen hundred years ago. Scholars, fortune seekers, and those who think its hidden mysteries contain the key to ultimate power have sought its immense harvest of learning ever since.

Now, a group of powerful worldwide tycoons who are determined to change history are trying desperately to enter the library's sacred halls, and Malone is the only one who can provide them with the knowledge they need to be successful. A powerful old manuscript that might upend not only the course of events in the Middle East but also the three main faiths in the world is at risk.

In pursuit of answers, Malone travels the world under the threat of a deadly mercenary. His mission will take him to Portugal, England, and even the top echelons of American administration; the devastating result, which will occur in the middle of the Sinai Desert, will have an impact on the whole globe.
