In the year 313 B.C, the ancient Persian city of Karmin-Yar was destroyed by an immense earthquake that reshaped the coast of the Black Sea. Buried in the wreckage was a century's worth of Persian gold.

Nelson DeMille says of The Fire Theft, "This is a gripping, galloping adventure. You'll love the exotic locales and the rich, compelling characters. Graham's best yet."
