Malik Seif is the ambitious leader of the radical Scarlet Jihad who is determined to reshape the world. This novel begins in the midst of a frantic firefight as Israeli security forces ferociously pursue Scarlet Jihad soldiers who just executed a daring raid into the Mossad's secure archives. Only one escapes into the Tel Aviv underground with his life, his objective, and the most curious of tales. Seif thanks Allah for this unexpected gift and is immediately obsessed to complete Adolf Hitler's secret pursuit. Jennifer Johnson, the youngest curator at the U.S. National Gallery of Art lives a charmed life. She awakes In Puerto Rico to oversee the safe return of the loaned sculpture, The Guardian. An hour later, she is running for her shattered life, covered in blood, and clutching the angelic statue. By lunchtime, she is framed for two murders she did not commit. By day's end, whispered conversations in Washington mobilize the FBI's top team to join the Scarlet Jihad in the hunt. A ruthless bounty hunter quickly follows, even as the Mossad mercilessly hunts the Scarlet Jihad to exact its own form of justice and keep The Guardian's true secret forever sealed. But what does it guard? This is the question Jennifer keeps asking herself as she must abandon the ethics that built her former life in order to restore it. Desperate, she turns to her CIA brother who guides her to Spencer Marek, a former CIA covert operative who left the Agency under dubious circumstances. He will use all of his black ops skills and questionable connections to keep them one small step ahead of the crowded pursuit, and save the woman he swore to protect. Together, they breathlessly race across Europe to collect and decipher the compelling clues left by Nazi masterminds, and finally unravel a secret three thousand years in the making. A secret many have died to protect, and more would kill to secure. A secret that reaches deep into the heart of the Old Testament and touches the very essence of Almighty power.
