Two strange events separated by nearly two thousand years. In 64 AD, a Roman centurion led a search for a mythical treasure said to have belonged to a queen of Carthage. In 1945, two Nazis vanish in war torn Berlin along with a very precious object. Now in 2009 Jamie Saintclair is asked to look into the latter only to learn about the former and to end up in a mystery that will lead to danger and even death as he snoops in places he is very much not wanted.
