A powerful earthquake has struck northern Greece. As a result, a
rare and ancient scroll is brought into the light of day
completely by chance in the ancient church known as the Rotunda.
Its discovery leads to deadly consequences.
Rupert Bradley, a young but distinguished expert on
ancient languages, finds himself embroiled in the surprisingly
dangerous task of revealing the meaning of the scroll. He has
experienced danger in the past, but nothing has quite prepared
him for the risks he takes on this quest. Teaming up with a
highly unlikely partner, Rupert lurches from one peril to the
next. Meanwhile his wife Rachel is torn between her
superficially dashing lover and an improbable would-be rescuer.
In the background a powerful and ruthless force is at
work, determined to eliminate the scroll and Rupert and anyone
or anything that gets in the way.
A dilemma presents itself to Rupert. It may be a question
of his wife or his life.
The scroll raises important questions, and points to
possible answers, to one of the greatest mysteries of all time,
perhaps the greatest unsolved mystery of them all.
It is a mystery as intriguing as – in fact more
intriguing than – any that Leo McNeir has ever portrayed.
