When the ransom delivery doesn’t go down as planned and the bodies start piling up, so does Luke’s frustration. He fears that innocent people may not survive this crisis, and neither will his relationship with Caroline Lane .  Her rock-solid faith proves to be a far better shelter in the storm than all his law enforcement training and experience

Physical description:

Summary:

After decades of research and field work, eminent archaeologist Dr. Richard Grimm finally locates the ultimate find: Proto Antropinus—the fossilized skeleton of the First Man. Then he stumbles onto something even more profound: the gate to the Garden of Eden.

When Dr. Richard Grimm, the noted archaeologist, disappears in the Middle East under mysterious circumstances, Dr. Ben Lawrence is called in to take his place. A Christian and creationist, Ben is used to being pushed aside and ridiculed. This dig is his big break — the chance to discover the birthplace of humankind. But the trail of Dr. Grimm leads straight into enemy territory: northern Iraq. Meanwhile, Jennifer Rogers is none too thrilled about her new boss on the dig. As the rebel daughter of Chinese missionaries, she considers Ben Lawrence as not only her opposite, but also her enemy. So why does she find herself so attracted to him? Unknown to Ben and Jennifer, more than one person has a stake in this obscure Babylonian dig. A high-powered businessman, a TV news celebrity, FBI and CIA agents — all of them have an interest in the operation. Power, money — even lives — are at stake. And Jennifer and Ben are caught in the middle, battling forces beyond their control.
