About the Book

Florence, 1538: Artist Benvenuto Cellini creates the Medusa Amulet: a work of
unimaginable power – and menace. The amulet can grant immortality to any
who stare into it on a moonlit night, but it soon falls into the wrong hands.
Chicago, the present day: Art historian David Franco’s beloved sister, Sarah, is
dying of cancer. When a mysterious widow offers him one million dollars to find
the legendary amulet, he seizes the chance to pay off Sarah’s medical bills – and
offer her a chance of survival.
The result is a desperate race against time that will take him across centuries and
continents, from American archives to Renaissance courts, from the ramparts of
the French Revolution to the dark depths of the Nazi party.
And there are others who have heard of the amulet’s powers, and they will stop
at nothing to find it…
