Synopsis

A murdered book dealer. A five-hundred-year-old secret. And a hidden vault with a sinister purpose.

The letter was written by Lorenzo de' Medici, the most powerful man in Renaissance Italy, at the height of a cover-up between the Catholic Church and the Ottoman Empire that's lasted five hundred years. He hid the proof, along with something far stranger, inside a vault beneath a church in Florence, and he made sure it could never be opened by force.

Sean Wyatt and his partner Tommy Schultz are called in to find out why a scholar's research got him killed. Sean's wife, Adriana, is already chasing the same secret from another angle: a decades-old wartime mystery involving a stolen painting and a debt no one ever paid back.

To reach the vault, they need three bronze keys, scattered across Florence, Venice, and Istanbul. Each one is guarded by a puzzle designed five centuries ago to let through only the right kind of person.
Waiting behind the final door is a mirror: a gift once sent from a sultan to a banker who trusted him more than his own church.

Legend says it shows you the truth. Not the truth you're hoping for. The truth about you.

Investment chairman Massimo Conti has spent thirty-two years and a fortune trying to reach that mirror. He's patient, he's brilliant, and he doesn't let anything, or anyone, get in his way. That's why he kidnaps Adriana in Istanbul and leaves Sean holding all three keys with nowhere safe left to turn.

Sean has broken into ancient tombs and outrun burning temples. But this time, the man chasing him isn't after gold. He's chasing an answer five hundred years in the making, and he'll burn Florence to the ground to get it.

The vault doesn't lie. Someone is about to find that out the hard way.
