Temple Mount — Keith Raffel

After selling his Silicon Valley company, Alex Kalman spends two years wondering what to do with his life. Then a deathbed request from his estranged grandfather sends Kalman on a quest that takes him from Washington's corridors of power to ancient passages under Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Finally, Americans, Arabs, and Israelis agree on something--the need to stop Alex Kalman. "A terrific battle of wit and wills. Highly recommended for fans, like me, of action, history, secrets, and conspiracies." Steve Berry, the New York Times bestselling author of The Lincoln Myth and The King's Deception "Tightly woven, lightning-paced, and touching the heart, Temple Mount tells a story as old as time and as current as today's headlines." Cara Black, the New York Times bestselling author of the Aimée Leduc Series "Is it possible that the Ark of the Covenant is still somewhere under Jerusalem, waiting for discovery? Temple Mount made me believe. Silicon Valley meets Raiders of the Lost Ark--a sharp, pacy thriller that's also a perfect armchair escape." Joseph Finder, the New York Times bestselling author of Suspicion and Paranoia
