Description
The Emerald Tablet: a Benedict Hitchens Novel 2 by Meaghan Wilson Anastasios is set against the backdrop of the Suez Canal in 1956, a time when the world teeters on the brink of nuclear war. Archaeologist Benedict Hitchens has recently secured his place in history with discoveries in western Turkey, but he's struggling to shake off feelings of unease about an impending invasion of Egypt. As Benedict learns that the woman who betrayed him is leading a team into the Sinai Desert in search of an ancient treasure, he's compelled to seek revenge. This pursuit puts everything at risk and forces him to confront his own personal demons. Meanwhile, the woman must grapple with her past wrongdoings and make amends for betraying those she once trusted. The fate of humankind hangs in the balance as both characters race against time to uncover a secret that could have catastrophic consequences.
