Featuring a hero who has been called "a Jason Bourne for the new millennium," a thriller about a master thief who must protect a powerful secret (James Rollins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Sigma Force series).
Robin Monarch has been a soldier, a CIA agent, a freelance operative but first and foremost, Monarch is a thief of the highest order. Orphaned at twelve, Monarch originally stole for survival, then he stole for his friends and cohorts, now he steals to order, and to give back to the to the woman who saved his life many years ago.
With the help of his team, Monarch breaks into the legendary Christmas party of Beau Arsenault. Arsenault is not above breaking the rules if there's illicit profit to be made. Monarch has decided that those illicit profits will be better used to take care of orphans and street kids. Using the party as cover to break into Arsenault's secret vaults, Monarch is shot trying to escape with tens of millions of negotiable instruments. But he also gets a lead on what might be his most audacious exploit ever. A previously undiscovered tribe in South America may well have the secret to the most sought after knowledge in history—that of eternal life. And Robin Monarch must use all his skills—as an operative, as a thief—to keep this secret from falling into the worst possible hands.
"Terrific page-turner . . . Sullivan has crafted a remarkable antihero in Monarch, and the mix of action with thought provoking insight into what constitutes good or evil makes this a winner on every level." ―Booklist (starred review)
