The Venetian Betrayal focuses on the search for the long-lost tomb of Alexander the Great. The villain of the book is Irina Zovastina, the Supreme Minister of the fictional Central Asian Federation, a nation formed when several former Soviet republics joined together.
Born from the ashes is a new Eastern European nation whose ruthless leader will soon draw Cotton into an intense geopolitical chess game against a shadowy cabal of power brokers. The prize lies buried with the mummified remains of Alexander the Great—in a tomb lost to the ages for more than two thousand years.
