Description
Casper Laing, a brilliant Professor of Semitic Languages, is tasked with deciphering an ancient parchment found in Israel. His translation reveals directions to a mysterious location believed to be the secret hiding place of the True Menorah, an ancient and priceless Jewish candelabrum. As Casper embarks on his perilous journey into the Negev desert, he finds himself surrounded by violent and treacherous rivals. A frantic race ensues between those seeking to claim the prize, with Casper's life hanging precariously in the balance. Originally published in 1966 under a different title, this gripping novel has been rediscovered by Faber & Faber, bringing it back into print for a new generation of readers.
