It is left to one Irish peacekeeper and one Jewish liberal to find and protect the tablet and bring peace to the region.

This second novel by Sam Bourne is a gripping read that has all the right ingredients - action, adventure, conspiracy and sex - to make this a real pageturner.

Bourne has been critically compared to controversial author Dan Brown, but he tells an all together more believable tale.
