After the tragic death of his son, all Dalton Scott wants is to live a quiet life in a sleepy tourist town in northern Italy. But his solace is shattered when British agents locate him to break the news that his friend, Oxford professor Paul Ross, was killed in a car bombing.

The agents believe Dr. Ross was murdered after he discovered the "Text of Akbar", a mysterious collection of 2,000-year-old Sanskrit fragments which could hold the key to the entire Christian faith. To find Dr. Ross's killer, the agents want Scott to assume the identity of Dr. Ross at an auction of rare books soon to be held at a faraway palace in India. The last Maharaja of Naipurna is hosting a group of religion scholars from around the world for this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Out of sympathy for Dr. Ross's widow, Scott reluctantly agrees to travel to the remote desert city where his three-day assignment spirals into a nightmare of danger and intrigue. Scott is in far more danger than he anticipated when he learns that his fellow guests at the palace are consumed with being the first to acquire the Text of Akbar...and one of them will gladly kill for that chance.
