The Book of Spies

The Book of Spies

“Queen of Espionage” Gayle Lynds earns another jewel in her crown with The Book of Spies, the edge-of-your-seat first novel in a thrilling new series.

Eva Blake is in prison for vehicular homicide, an accident that claimed the life of her husband, Charles, a renowned curator of ancient and medieval manuscripts. Eva doesn’t remember the accident, but she’s determined to survive her four-year sentence, though her own career as a respected rare-books conservator is most likely over.

Then CIA agent Tucker Anderson visits Eva in jail with an offer she can’t refuse: He will release her from prison if she agrees to help him unravel the connection between a bank account linked to terrorists and the legendary Library of Gold. Believed to contain books lost for centuries, the missing Library had been the focus of her husband’s life-long research.

Sent to the British Museum to view a book that came from the Library, Eva is stunned to see the man she was jailed for killing among the crowd! After he flees, then tries to kill her, Eva finds herself the target of mysterious forces. For the Library of Gold is real, controlled by the world’s richest, most powerful men—and Eva and Tucker have become a threat.
