[edit] Plot summary

This novel picks up shortly following the events depicted in The Book of the Dead.

Agent Pendergast and his ward, Constance Green, are studying in Tibet with Buddhist monks; they are recuperating from the events depicted in the novel The Book of the Dead. An artifact is stolen from the monastery, and the monks ask if Pendergast can retrieve it. Pendergast pursues the thief and artifact through China, Rome, and London. Eventually, he and Constance track the individual (who has now become a killer) to a luxury ocean liner which is headed to New York City.

Pendergast and Green are thus left to identify and apprehend the killer and retrieve the artifact before the ship lands.
