Mina Osman, a young American archaeologist of Iraqi descent, is fighting to preserve the country's antiquities. When she stumbles upon an ancient cuneiform tablet, it proves to be of unimaginable significance - its cryptic language holds a secret that will play a part in a series of earth-shattering events.

Middle Eastern Mystery

Alexandre Mitchell, a professional archaeologist and art historian, has written a highly entertaining story of intrigue in Iraq, Israel, and beyond that takes the reader back to ancient Babylonian riddles and quarrels among mediaeval rabbis, on down to modern mysteries of weather prediction and high finance. The mixture of action and learning is just right -- fun for every taste.
