Opis

Three artifacts from the Dead Sea caves. An eyewitness account of a night of wonders, written on an ancient scroll. Men who would kill to keep things secret. It looked as though stockbroker and amateur archaeologist Brian Sadler had hit the jackpot when he joined Warren Taylor & Currant, Dallas' hottest investment banking firm. Then the FBI arrived to investigate the firm's ties to the Mafia and Brian had to find a way out. In his last deal at the firm he raised millions for Bijan Rarities, a New York antiquities firm, then joined the gallery himself. Bijan's upcoming auction of the sarcophagus of Inkharaton, a pharaoh whose tomb was discovered in 2005, made headlines worldwide. The amazing find was the first intact tomb ever discovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. It also held an amazing surprise. The auction was televised around the world and catapulted the gallery to new heights. In a bizarre turn of events Brian Sadler ended up owning Bijan and searching for a mysterious scroll written by a young boy that would solidify Bijan and Brian Sadler's positions in the world of antiquities dealings. Brian has to raise millions to buy the scroll and turns to the godfather, John Spedino, for his solution. If you deal with the mob things have to go exactly right. When events being to unravel Brian Sadler could lose his gallery . . . and his life. Jetting from Dallas to New York and London, Egypt's Valley of the Kings and the French Riviera, this fast-moving archaeological adventure will keep you turning pages to learn the outcome of the world's most important document - The Bethlehem Scroll.
