The Shadow Master — David Chacko

The death of an archeologist leads to an inexorable unfolding of the events that caused it. The investigator of the crime that may be more or less than murder is Klement Zeman, the brother of the dead man and an intelligence officer. The revelations that he discovers propel the book from Africa to Budapest, Prague and Vienna, where the climactic scenes occur. Will the world survive the turning of the year 2001 or will it turn back into chaos?
