Some secrets are worth more than gold.
Roman Grey, an antique dealer and gypsy, has no real interest in the Royal Crown of Hungary, temporarily on display at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. But due to his expertise in historical artefacts, he reluctantly answers a summons to analyze and protect the priceless relic.
Then, despite an ever vigilant team of police and key experts, a daring heist is pulled off and murder and chaos follow. And amongst the madness, Grey uncovers a hundred year old secret about the royal artefact that is more incredible than he could have ever imagined . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a new series (to me) by Martin Cruz Smith. Like all of his Russian novels, this one is packed with interesting facts and suspenseful. This one deals with a religious artifact or gold and silver and gems.
