Sanctus

Plot

"A man throws himself to his death from the oldest inhabited place on the face of the earth, a mountainous citadel in the historic Turkish city of Ruin. This is no ordinary suicide but a symbolic act and thanks to the media it is witnessed by the entire world. For charity worker Kathryn Mann and a handful of others in the know, this is the call to action they have been awaiting. For the cowled and secretive fanatics that live in the Citadel, it could mean the end of all they have built - and they will kill, torture and break every law to prevent that happening. For Liv Adamsen, crime reporter on a New Jersey paper, it marks the beginning of a terrifying and dangerous journey into the heart of her own idenity."--Back cover.
