The woman flashed her lantern around the farmyard searching the pools of icy covered water. She saw something quiver in one of the muddy pools. There it was again! The sight of human features...a nose and mouth reflected in her light. She gasped and stared at the semblance of a face barely above water. Cautiously, she walked toward the unnatural muddy pool with its waters quivering and set her lantern down. Slowly, she reached her hand down to touch the trembling mass, and felt the icy cold face. Instinctively, she withdrew from the cold touch of death.
The Methuselah Conspiracy is a fast-paced international sequel to The Chatelaine Connection by P.E. Peterson. The same character Cyrus MacKenna, horse breeder and legendary Interpol agent, is again teamed up with his granddaughter, Emma Gray Llewelyn, English Barrister and her husband, Carlos Esteves, now Director of Interpol's Northern European Bureau. The mystery around the research Carruchi performed on Emma in the Chatelaine Connection was never completely revealed. Cyrus's amnesia prevented him from remembering how Marcus Rudolphi boasted to him about the research Dr. Ennio Carruchi performed on Emma. One day everything came flooding back in his memory when he recalled Marcus boasting about the child he had with Emma. Knowing Emma never bore a child, Cyrus must discover who this child is? Why a terrorist organization, called Alliance, is searching for the same child? The child and au pair have disappeared without a trace for several years, making it extremely difficult for Alliance, Interpol and the House of Chaos to find any trace of their footprints. Cyrus alone learns where she is hidden. Alliance has a plan to eliminate anyone connected to this special child–meaning they have plans to eliminate Cyrus MacKenna and Carlos Esteves. For an unknown reason, Emma's capture is as important as finding this child. When Alliance penetrates Interpol and the House of Chaos, the task to locate the child and to keep Emma safe becomes the job for five agents. Abigail Monterrey and Noah Helm are American CIA and FBI agents made to disappear inside British NSA. Emma hires a new private investigator, Zackary Judd to replace Dillon O'Rourke. Zack's real job is to keep Emma safe from Alliance. Complicating his job, he learns a past archenemy thought dead is alive and working with Alliance. The story begins in France, and moves to the Netherlands where a spectacular confrontation reveals who and what is the Methuselah Conspiracy.
