Ex-priest and dyslexic expert of ancient languages, Jack Fisher, agrees to assist an Israeli friend and expert of religious history; and is drawn into an unsolved mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. His discovery of the true meaning of the Copper Scroll threatens to expose the three religions of Abraham as the monotheistic legacy of an ancient, sun-worshipping pharaoh.. Jack joins forces with Agent Ariel Hadar of the Israeli Antiquities Authority and Sami Salaa, a Palestinian boy of the streets, in an epic struggle for possession of the scroll, and an explosive truth which will upend religious history and shatter the religious legacy of Jews, Christians and Muslims. There's an oddly engraved museum token to interpret, a missing Dead Sea Scroll to find, a cabal of murderous high clerics, an Egyptian madman, a nightmarish assassin, an important clue from a fourth century travel log and a long-forgotten proclamation of startling implication from The Prophet Muhammad. The race for possession of the Copper Scroll leads through the Old City of Jerusalem, onto the Judean Desert and to the Monastery of St. Catherine, at the foot of Moses' Mount Sinai, where the heresy of the long-dead Egyptian pharaoh rises to confront the very basis of faith for three and a half billion believers.
