Don't Trust Anyone

The investigation into the gruesome murder of a professor at Exeter University leads to a shocking conclusion: the criminals are his own students, studying the history of witchcraft and spiritualism. In particular, the evidence points to American Sherin Carr. Before his death, the professor shoved an ancient manuscript into her hands – a coded handwritten diary of the famous occultist Count de Saint Germain. He begged her to preserve this text, warning: “Don't trust anyone.” But Sherin cannot do without the help of friends. Each of them is strong in their aspect of knowledge, and together they form a desperate team of guardians… Only they know that these students are innocent. Pursued by law enforcement and a powerful organization called “The Brotherhood,” the friends are forced to flee. In a deadly chase across Europe – from the Tower of London to Parisian castles and a fortress in the Italian Alps – Sherin must unravel the true mystery hidden in the text of Saint Germain. A mystery that will send her and the others through history – and to one of the greatest enigmas of the world, buried at the very roots of Western civilization. Its discovery could forever change humanity. All that remains is to try to stay alive…
