Dr. David Chambers is a renowned Biblical archeologist who has turned his back on his science, his family and the love of his life. Then he gets the one phone call that will change his life forever. His new dig will bring amazing reward as well as great danger. His very dear friend asks him to return to Israel and head a dig that is shrouded in secrecy. It doesn't take Chambers long to realize that the goal is to find the Temple treasures.
What follows is a journey that brings tragedy as well as triumps. People lose their lives in the name of science and religious discovery. Lives and relationships are restored as well. But in the end, Chambers seems to be left wondering if it is all worth it.
The characters I found to be very believable, the storyline tightly knit. I admit that I suspected the bad guy by about the middle of the book but that did not dim the storyline at all. I found this to be a great read and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
