Filled with suspense and mystery, a true account details the 1992 murder of Albert Glock, a renowned American archaeologist devoted to helping Palestinian archeologists find the clues to their historic roots, in the Holy Land by examining the intricate puzzle surrounding Glock's death and the cultural politics in biblical archaeology of the time.

"Mr. Fox brilliantly manages...questions of scale and perspective. His sense of drama and suspense--even of tragic destiny--keeps Glock at the centre of the story; and yet at the same time, anyone wanting to understand the trauma of occupied Palestine, historically, culturally and politically, should read this book."

Economist, 07/31/2001

"Edward Fox's eye opening book is as good as a detective novel, as interesting to an archaeologist as to a political scientist; it is also a fable of the risks assumed by those who proceed from a love of truth."

Guy Davenport, Harper's, October 2001
