Spanning generations from the 1930s to the present day, The Babylon Code tells a true story of discovery through the adventures of Danielle Dawson and her grandson Sam Romero.

Arriving in Cairo on the eve of the Second World War, Danielle has been assigned her first mission as a spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service. But when the German double agent she has been asked to recruit is murdered, she learns that a mysterious book the agent had given her has a treasure map hidden inside. Embarking on a dangerous journey to Beirut, Damascus, and Babylon, Danielle must learn the map’s secrets to stay alive.

More than eight decades later, Sam Romero is working in Rome on an overseas assignment for the FBI. Assigned to investigate an international crime ring targeting some of the world’s most celebrated museums and libraries, Sam learns that a book that had belonged to his grandmother Danielle was the target of the ring’s latest theft. Racing across Greece, Jordan, and Israel in pursuit of the thieves, Sam begins to learn the book’s secrets but is mystified by the strange map hidden inside. Could it possibly be true, he wonders, that the map now in his hands reveals the fate of the greatest lost treasure of the ancient world?
