I custodi della biblioteca

Meer over het boek

In the latest from international bestselling author Glenn Cooper, a new Doomsday Killer emerges, pulling former FBI agent Will Piper into a centuries-old conspiracy that could determine humanity's fate. The story begins in 1775 on the Isle of Wight, where an American traveler uncovers a remarkable secret at a cursed monastery site, intriguing Benjamin Franklin, who is drawn to the legendary Library of Vectis. Fast forward to Florida in 2026, where Will Piper enjoys retirement, far removed from the infamous "Doomsday Killer" case that once made him a minor celebrity. However, revelations from that investigation suggest a world-altering event, referred to as the Horizon, is imminent on February 9, 2027. As society teeters between indulgence and despair, a new Doomsday Killer targets individuals with Chinese names, and Will's teenage son, Phillip, vanishes after receiving a cryptic email from abroad. This forces Will back into a high-stakes adventure that spans centuries and continents, potentially uncovering truths about the future of humanity that the Library has yet to reveal—if a future exists at all.
