Clearing out her grandfather's attic, Josie Santana comes across a wartime diary telling of the burial for safety of the Grand Cross of Saint Jerome, one of Malta's most important and historic treasures still missing from the war.Three families, hitherto completely unknown to each other, find their lives unexpectedly linked in a search for this cross. In the highlands of Scotland is Rory Baird whose soldier ancestor was killed on active service in Malta. More than a thousand miles away to the east are the Santanas, protectors of the wildlife that the hunters seek to destroy. In Syria, driven from their home and into the hands of the people smugglers, are Natalia Farashi and her silent son.As one by one the clues to the whereabouts of the cross are found and the search gathers pace, so too does the warfare between the conservationists and the hunters led by the powerful Kristof Dara. That there will be casualties is inevitable.
