Dr. Davis Stone is a prominent young archaeologist who has just dazzled his audience when a mysterious man bursts into the lecture hall and hurls a deadly accusation at the keynote speaker. The booming words, 'I know what you did!' vibrate through the hall as the straggler disappears. Dr. Stone has become an overnight sensation thanks in large measure to his titillating book on India’s erotic Hindu temples famous for their delicate carvings and sexually explicit statues. Stone’s book has soared to the top of the New York Times Best Seller list, an unbelievable coup for the handsome archaeologist. He and his wife, Vanessa Bligh-Stone, are on the faculty at a leading university in Philadelphia. She is a gifted English professor still struggling to win tenure. Deeply in love with her charismatic husband, she sacrifices her career to edit his works. Stone may seem charming on the outside, but inside, he is ruthless and will use any means necessary to achieve success. It seems like nothing can stop his dynamic rise to fame in a conflicted world filled with infighting and political intrigue.
