About
He was the keeper - Arno Holvstrund is about to die, his life cut short by an organization intent on taking all of his secrets about the one thing he has spent a lifetime guarding: the whereabouts and vast knowledge of the Library of Alexandria.
She will inherit his legacy - Emily Wess is about to have her life change beyond all recognition. One minute she is a professor of history, the next she is flying around the world deciphering clues left by her mentor Arno Holvstrund. Is she being tested?
They will kill for control - they are the Council and crave power and position. Their courruption spreads from the highest points of government to the assassins they hire to commit their crimes. They will kill for the ancient knowledge contained in the Library. And Emily Wess has exactly what they want.
A.M. Dean is the literary pseudonym of a leading academic authority on ancient cultures and the history of religious belief, whose expertise in late antiquity has earned him posts at some of the world's most prestigious universities. An abiding interest in the human tendency toward conspiracies, together with a commanding grasp of the genuinely mysterious context of real history, inspire the breadth and focus of his creative works. The Lost Library is his first novel.
