'An ancient golden amulet with a history of violence and death. A highly organised group of killers who will do anything to keep secret their past identities and their crimes against humanity. A brilliant young New York lawyer with a passion for truth and justice. A Hollywood film director determined to expose the horrors committed on Slovakia under Stalin's regime . . .

'When Josh Krantz wants to reclaim his grandparents' house from the Slovakian government, he has another agenda - to expose the evil crimes committed by Stalin's henchmen against the Krantz family and thousands of others. He engages the services of New York lawyer Sarah Kaplan, and together they travel to Slovakia to begin their fight.

'Dr Laco Plastov - an archaeologist who is amazed by the engravings on Sarah's ancient amulet - joins the two Americans on their crusade. Delving into the past, they uncover the syndicate - an organisation set up to protect the evil killers of thousands of innocent people during Stalin's regime.

'Armed with information that will expose these men and bring them to justice, Sarah, Josh and Laco become involved in a deadly and strategic contest - playing for their very lives.'
