Clive Cussler meets Dan Brown in this high voltage adventure thriller in which two ambitious young climbers stumble upon a great secret in the Himalayas and find themselves on the run from the Chinese secret police. In the ruthless pursuit of his mountaineering goals, Luca Matthews would sacrifice anything even another climber's life. So when he sights a virgin peak in the Himalayas that exists on no map, no one is surprised when he becomes obsessed with being the first to scale it.

People have been disappearing in what the explorer Stanley called the black heart of Africa - the impenetrable forests of northern Congo.

Luca Matthews has been tasked by MI6 officer Kieran Bates to lead a team of scientists to the site to discover what secrets lie trapped below. When mining investigator `Bear' Makuru cannot reach Luca, she starts to dig into Bates' past - uncovering a plot more sinister than she could ever have imagined.

Dva mladí horolezci z Londýna narazí v nedostupných a zakázaných částech Himálaje na pradávné tajemství. Jejich dobrodružná cesta na vrchol hory, již nezaznamenává žádná z map, se prolíná s dramatickou cestou malého chlapce, jemuž je v patách tajná čínská policie. Kdo je ten zdánlivě zcela obyčejný chlapec a kam přes celou Čínu míří? A co se stane, když se cesty všech zkříží pod horou, jejíž vrcholek stále skrývá neproniknutelný oblak mlhy. Kniha v sobě spájí to nejlepší z Dana Browna a Cliva Cusslera.
