A Potter's Tale

What secret links the collapse of an ancient civilization to the death of a precocious teen? Why did she believe the world was coming to an end? In this intelligent, richly detailed, can't-put-it-down thriller, Washington Post reporters Noah Scott and Kate Chien-Forest investigate the murder of DiShannia Johns, a vivacious, intelligent DC high school student. The search for her killer brings them to embark on a pressurized and anxious journey: from DC to London; to CERN’s underground quantum accelerator; to Melbourne, possible scene of a horrific act of terror. The journey exposes them to a secret Vatican society that controls (and sometimes ends) the lives of geniuses and presidents, prime ministers and popes. It’s a journey that overcomes betrayal, leading them to an unlikely love — and certain danger. It’s a journey that forces them—and us—to confront the reality of a collapsing universe—and to question which universe we exist in. Can they save our world? Only the Potter Herself knows the answer
