THE DISCOVERY

For 3000 years it lay hidden deep beneath the desert sands

of Syria. The key to the ultimate artifact--the fabled Last

Words of God. A wondrous and frightening relic that could

alter history and change the political and religious shape

of the world forever.

THE DISCOVERY

This earth-shaking find unites LAPD detective Jack Raines

and beautiful archeologist Gabrlella Bcrcovici in a deadly

race across three continents. Thrust against Syrian agents,

Middle Eastern assassins and CIA operatives, they struggle

for a fearsome prize that could usher in a new era of

enlightenment...or a dark age of war.

THE DISCOVERY

From the seamy L.A. narcotics underworld, through the

massive halls of great museums and universities, we are

ultimately plunged into a forbidding crypt beneath the

ruins of ancient Megiddo--the site of the heart-stopping

climax of Steve Shagan s most suspensefu] and thrilling

book to date.

" What do you get when you combine Indiana Jones and Lew

Archer? A rompin stompin" mystery that melds the last

words of Moses with sordid murders....Once you start

turning the pages, you ll resent every interruption."
