Summary:

Widower John Reese's daughter lies in a coma, struck down in her Harvard laboratory by late-night intruders. The police are stymied, and a desperate Reese decides to look for answers on his own. The disappearance of a mummified sample of human remains sent to the lab for DNA analysis is the sole clue, and a shroud of secrecy surrounds its very existence. No one wants to talk about it. Not the Jesuit scholar who deciphered the ancient scroll with which the sample was found. Not the young Japanese researcher who was a secret witness to the crime. And not Bobby Jordan, the megalomaniac evangelist who uncovered the scroll's staggering secret. The trail leads to Jordan's remote island haven, where Reese allies himself with Lara Brooks, a reluctant agent of the Catholic Church. Too late they discover Jordan's obsessive, demented purpose. Trapped on the island by a hurricane, they must fight for their lives as the implacable forces vying for the stolen sample collide in a paroxysm of violence.
