Map of Bones
posted in Fiction |
Armed mercenaries disguised as monks butcher hundreds of people during a crowded service in Germany. The killers did not anything valuable, except the bones of one of the three magi who paid homage to infant Jesus. Days later the bones of other magi are also looted with equal bloodshed from Milan.
Vatican asks and gets the help of the SIGMA force—an elite team of scientific and special forces operatives. The Sigma team with the assistance of Monsignor Vigor Verona and his niece Lieutenant Rachel Verona of Rome’s carabinieri sets out to solve the deadly mystery behind the looted bones and the killings. They are against one of most powerful and deadly group of people—The Dragon Court—who will not stop until they get what they want.
Solving the mystery and breaking the cryptic codes and puzzles take the Sigma team to the sites of the Seven Wonders of the World. They are closely followed by the assassins of the Dragon Court, who are prepared do anything to get the secret treasure.
This is a high voltage drama where science, religion, greed, treachery, power, and violence unite to create a captivating story. An exceptional story; told in an exemplary manner.
