"Hmmm...according to LOL, I now possess a friend who may be an undercover agent of darkness! I cannot believe this - seems my uneasy instincts concerning our Ms. Maddie, last she appeared to meet me in Gisors, were accurate. If I didn't know better, I'd say she was keeping company with that jackass..."
"That bad, eh? And please, let's leave your former boyfriend out of this."
"He wasn't my boyfriend...he was a...dalliance," Olivia winked. "You know I can't stand him - don't pout."
"Fine. What's this all about then, and what does it have to do with our Belgian librarian?"
"Last night I had a dream about Egypt," Olivia read aloud from her associate's email. "A story about Miriam and Moses and two tablets that were not the Ten Commandments, but rather laws of a different nature...something about twins and light. And this ancient knowledge, this truth, had been lost for centuries before being rediscovered in a private museum, encoded in a painting by an anonymous Flemish master. But the documents written by the silent painter that proved the validity of the two tablets of Toth and his counterpart, Seshat, handed down to Moses and his sister, were being kept under lock and key at a prestigious library by a woman whose name contained the word...Cross."
"Go on, get to the good part," Domenico urged.
