false 4618508 1 It gleamed up at her like a small golden egg encrusted with jewels of lapis lazuli, carnelian, and jasper. The classic eye, one of the most ancient symbols of protection. Natalie Landau, a museum curator with an expertise in Mesopotamian protective amulets and magical beliefs, has received a puzzling gift from her sister Dana--a necklace with a blue evil eye pendant on it. The Evil Eye is a symbol of protection common throughout the world, with a history connecting it to many religions. When Natalie learns Dana was murdered only hours after sending the gift, she begins to think her evil eye amulet had something to do with her sister's death. As she races to discover the origin of the pendant, Natalie is sucked into an international battle between powerful religious factions, each battling for the eye, which turns out to be far more valuable and far more powerful--than she could ever imagine. 4668448 20 1 2009 The Illumination total:34|5:4|4:11|3:13|2:4|1:2| 34 113 51 19 1 0 false false Tue Oct 27 11:36:41 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 11:50:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu May 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 17:07:36 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 16:15:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 16 00:26:55 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 15:46:54 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 00:26:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 09:36:47 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 09:39:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 16:41:05 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 16:44:26 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 10:45:16 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 10:46:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 18:53:35 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 18:56:33 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Wed Sep 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 17:54:55 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 17:46:05 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 15:55:27 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 15:38:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 15 20:35:59 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 20:36:11 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 11 16:33:45 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 16:33:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 04:01:35 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 04:02:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 18:13:56 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 00:42:56 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 08 16:45:26 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 22:38:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 05:43:46 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 08:11:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 19:52:47 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 21:22:15 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 07:42:29 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 07:39:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 17:07:55 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 14:24:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 11 09:33:32 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 09:35:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 13 12:26:57 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:26:57 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4618508
