The Unburied Dead

Résumé du livre

At their excavations high in the Taurus Mountains, archaeologists James and Arla are poised to discover the secret of what caused the Late Bronze Age Collapse and the destruction of the Hittite Empire in 1200 BC. Little do they know that in so doing they have placed themselves and their team in mortal danger. Their search for answers uncovers a horrifying past, a sinister secret society and an ancient evil they cannot fight. Two Hittite children, Ani and Purdu, leave their farm to watch a parade of returning soldiers in their local town, only to find it overrun by an evil beyond their worst nightmares. Returning home, they find their farm destroyed by the same evil. Their flight to safety leads them to an unlikely friend and guardian, and on a terrifying journey north to the great capital of Hattusha. Michael, a pharmacist in a Central Washington hospital, is the only survivor of a bizarre and brutal attack by a sick patient that leaves several doctors dead. Fleeing the scene in terror, he soon finds himself accused of the murders. Desperate to prove his innocence, Michael turns to his IT genius friend Nathan for help. Michael and Nathan uncover much more than they bargained for - a deadly disease sweeping through the city, and a secret society determined to silence them and any that stand in their way.
