It's only when he finds himself in Oman on his debut 'flight', and is drawn, by a chance encounter with the kindly scholar Burhan, into the perilous quest for an ancient cloth, that Alex realises there's always a price to pay for a new gift.Burhan sees the cloth as a beacon of hope for mankind. Salah, his ruthless cousin, wants to lock it away forever. The chase that ensues will threaten Burhan's life, Alex's life and Carol's too, his enigmatic new girlfriend. But it may also reveal the identity and true purpose of the girl in the park with the wand."... harrowing moments ... engrossing tale ...
