Dark secrets. A holy relic. An ancient quest reignited.
Jack Rogan's discovery of a disturbing old photograph in the ashes of a rural Australian cottage draws the journalist into a dangerous hunt with the ultimate stakes.

The tangled web of clues -- including hoards of Nazi gold, hidden Swiss bank accounts, and a long-forgotten mass grave -- lead to a trial with shocking revelations.

A holy relic mysteriously erased from the pages of history is suddenly up for grabs to those willing to sacrifice everything to find it.

Rogan and his companions must follow historical leads through ancient Egypt to the Crusades and the Knights Templar to uncover a secret that could destroy the foundations of the Catholic Church and challenge the history of Christianity itself.

Will Rogan succeed in bringing the dark mystery into the light or will the powers desperately working against him ensure the ancient truths remain buried forever?

THE EMPRESS HOLDS THE KEY is the first standalone thriller in the page-turning Jack Rogan Mysteries Series. If you like high adventure, exotic locations, strong characters and action thrillers with a historical twist, then you'll love Gabriel Farago's nail-biting mystery thriller.
