The Lost Staff

On her dismal 30th birthday, unassuming Professor Mackenzie Braden receives a mysterious package from her Aunt Sara, urging her to locate Moses’ staff. The most powerful weapon in history will start global chaos if it lands in the wrong hands. Sara was an agent for VAS, the top-secret Vatican Archaeological Service. But she’s been dead for 30 years and the agency inactive for just as long. Except for hunky ex-military pilot Eoin Reilly, her allies are wannabe agents who are as inept as she is. 

But nothing is going to stop Mackenzie from recharging her lackluster life, fulfilling her mission, finding answers about her aunt, and making Eoin her birthday present. Armed with her only clue, a souvenir figurine of Moses and his rod, Mackenzie sets off on a wild adventure as she fends off a Ph.D. candidate turned terrorist, a dysfunctional family of treasure hunters, a fake Mossad operative, a manic former VAS agent, the underground tunnels of the Gaza Strip, and a whole lot of rocket launchers. But this is training for Mackenzie’s ultimate clash with a charming deposed Saudi prince with world domination on his mind.
