The Gnostic Library (Capri Team¸ #3)
 |
The deserts of Egypt conceal the greatest treasure since the Dead Sea Scrolls...and the twisted hate of a master terrorist!
Father Duncan MacDonald¸ Vatican archeologist¸ has been doing routine parish work in the States near the home of his friends Joshua and Isabella Parker¸ who are investigating a mysterious Spanish mission in north Texas. Suddenly Duncan is called away to help excavate an ancient library full of writings by the early Christian sect known as the Gnostics¸ discovered by a villager in Egypt's Black Desert.
Working with British archeologist Dr. Katherine Feezel¸ Duncan begins retrieving and preserving the scrolls and codices from the stone structure¸ buried in the dunes for seventeen hundred years. Katherine¸ a lovely widow¸ stirs feelings that he had long suppressed in his service to God and the Church. Before he can resolve this inner conflict¸ the two scholars are kidnapped by a savage band of jihadists known as the Army of Allah and their sinister leader¸ Muhammad Al-Shavadi. Josh and Isabella and the rest of the Capri Team race across the globe to help rescue their friend and colleague¸ but time is running out - and Duncan must decide how far he will go to save the woman he has fallen in love with!
