When Greg and Jill bring a "souvenir" Dead Sea Scroll back from the Holy Land, a Palestinian terrorist group invades their home, taking Jill hostage. Greg finds himself with an ancient Hebrew parchment worth millions, wanted by both Palestinians and a radical far-right Israeli organization. When he tries to exchange it for Jill's freedom, everything goes wrong. The police target him as a suspect in his wife's disappearance, and he sets out alone on a perilous chase to save her.


What the reviewers said...

"A thriller in every sense of the word...Campbell makes McKenzie into a 65 year old rebel who is irresistible and appealing. Great!"

     Midwest Book Review

"A superbly written book with an excellent plot."

     All About Murder Reviews

"This is a fast, exciting read. It grabs you and won't let you go."

     The Best Reviews

"A riveting, edge of the seat book that is set against the backdrop of the modern Middle East."

     Women on Writing

"Author Chester Campbell's prose, like his protagonist, is quick, clean and brash.  The story runs at a breakneck pace, never faltering.  The Arab-Israeli conflict informs the plot, but the author handles the region's complexities with an even hand."

Roudtable Reviews

"I found myself unable to put this book down till the end. Full of intrigue and suspense, it is a real page turner. Excellently written, a must read for all those who enjoy this type of genre. I highly recommend it. Well done, Mr. Campbell."

Book Review Cafe

"Given the state of affairs in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine a single incident igniting into a major conflict...an intriguing and entertaining thriller that shows how such a scenario might occur."

The (Nashville) Tennessean

"A first person, narrative mystery thriller of the first order...if you like good solid writing, thoughtful characterization and a believable story you'll enjoy this book."
