EIKON...the story of a lost miracle...In the final days of World War II, millions of dollars worth of priceless art and artifacts were looted by Nazis retreating through Central Europe, by triumphant Russian armies invading the German homeland, and by hundreds of American GIssoldiers who often had no idea of the importance or value of what they had liberated. Most of these treasures have never been seen again. This, the story of one such treasure, begins in the sun-starved depths of Medieval Russia where the look in a young girls eyes is caught and carried across five centuries, creating miracles, causing murders. The story reaches a climax in the office politics of 1990s Washington, where a desperate investigation by improbable means uncovers a final miracle.###
