The Artifact

Deep beneath the Pyramid of the Sun, archaeologist Charles Bowen and his protege Marcus Brown uncover an artifact that rewrites history—and paints a target on their backs. Within hours, killers strike. Charles is dead. Marcus is on the run. Hunted by the GBI, shadowy operatives, and the Mexican authorities, Marcus must unravel the truth about the relic—and the secret it holds about his own past.

Betrayed by shadowy government forces, FBI agents Thor Dejeune and Maya Wilson are forced into hiding. Across the Atlantic, Marcus Brown is abducted and ordered to uncover a secret he never knew existed: What is the artifact—and why is half the world desperate to find it? Racing to follow his trail with the help of a mysterious ally, Thor and Maya close in, while in Washington, D.C., investigative journalist Michelle Nunez and rookie congressman Bob Greenwich dig into billions vanishing into covert government projects.
