The Medusa Stone
An earthquake in London. A shattered statue. A man turned to stone two thousand years ago.
When a freak seismic anomaly tears through the British Museum during its most celebrated exhibition of the decade, a priceless Greek sculpture falls from its pedestal and breaks open. What spills out is not marble.
It is bone.
Billionaire Dave Purdue and curator Prof. Helen Barry stare at the impossible: the statue was once a living man. Petrified. And the chemical signature inside his remains matches a compound last used in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.
Purdue assembles a team, historian Dr. Nina Gould among them, and follows the trail into an alchemical nightmare the Nazis spent the war chasing. The Greeks called it Medusa. The SS called it something else. Both were hunting the same stone.
But Purdue's team is not the only one on the hunt. Someone inside the expedition is feeding intelligence to a rival faction. And the deeper they push toward the Medusa Stone, the harder it becomes to tell myth from weapon, collector from killer, friend from traitor.
One touch turns men to stone. The wrong hands could turn the world to silence.
Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Clive Cussler, and Steve Berry.
