DA VINCI CODE meets TOMB RAIDER in this multi-award-winning and #1 bestselling thriller that combines intrigue, history, science, and mystery into pulse-pounding action.

A computer-app designer.
An encrypted relic.
Can she and the VanOps team decipher the dangerous code before extremists trigger a high-tech apocalypse?

VanOps has a charter to save the world from mysterious threats, and Director Bowman wants software expert Maddy Marshall to join the team. But the Aikido blackbelt isn't sure she's ready for a hazardous role that might risk the life of AJ, the nine-year-old boy she wants to adopt. When an armed Russian thief escapes over her fire escape carrying an ancient star chart, Maddy’s heart drops. She decides to join her broad-shouldered boyfriend, Bear Thorenson, in a covert ops mission to retrieve the chart, as it may lead to an arcane weapon that fringe members of the Russian government will use to spark a global war.

Setting off on a mad dash to uncover the chart’s celestial secrets, the VanOps team races across the globe through the bazaars of Morocco, fallen Turkish temples, and Egypt’s perilous Valley of the Kings. They must fight to stay even a half-step ahead of sinister assassins. Worse, the place Maddy sent AJ for refuge becomes the enemy’s testing ground, where hungry gangs roam darkened streets.

With millions of lives on the line, can Maddy and Bear rescue the boy and crack the chart’s secret code?

SOLSTICE SHADOWS is the second novel in the fast-paced, multi-award-winning VanOps thriller series. If you enjoy smart edge-of-your-seat suspense by James Rollins, Dan Brown, Steve Berry, or Clive Cussler, you'll stay up late turning the pages of Avanti Centrae’s "rousing sequel."
