The Missing Word

The mystery revolves around a tablet of incalculable value: on it is inscribed the formula for eternal youth. Since time immemorial, more or less unscrupulous men have been searching for the tablet and the incredible text engraved upon it.
Ann Carrington, an American History professor and specialist in ancient civilizations, is hired by a Swiss colleague who works for a multinational pharmaceutical company to try and decipher a text from which a word is missing. It is a reproduction of the text from a piece of the ancient stone, but the formula is incomplete.
However, Ann’s work will be much more than an archaeological investigation; it will put her life in danger.
