The bestselling, pulse-pounding archaeological thriller that's a must-read for all fans of Dan Brown and Clive Cussler.
Jerusalem, 70 AD. As the legions of Rome besiege the Holy Temple, a boy is given a secret that he must guard with his life.
Southern Germany, December 1944. Six emaciated prisoners drag a mysterious crate deep into a disused mine. They too give their lives to keep the secret safe - they are murdered by their Nazi guards.
Egypt, Valley of the Kings, present day. A body is discovered among some ruins. It appears to be an open-and-shut case but the more Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor police uncovers about the dead man, the more uneasy he becomes. And his investigation turns out to be anything but routine. Khalifa doesn't know it yet, but he is on the trail of an extraordinary long-lost artifact that could, in the wrong hands, turn the Middle East into a blood bath. It's a dangerous path he's taking - and to make matters worse, he's not alone...
From ancient Jerusalem, the Crusades, Cathar heretics and coded medieval manuscripts to the Holocaust, hidden Nazi treasure and the murderous present-day, The Last Secret of the Temple is a thrilling, rollercoaster ride of adventure in search of a two thousand year-old mystery and a pulse-pounding race against time.

Recensione:
"'The intelligent reader's answer to The Da Vinci Code: a big, fat satisfying archaeological puzzle'" (INDEPENDENT)
"Not just a tightly-plotted, richly-observed, thought-provoking thriller, but one with a soul...The compelling mix of tough, page-turning suspense, archaeology, history and characters caught up in the brutal politics of the Middle East, make this a timely and authentic novel. Paul Sussman builds his story with the meticulous strokes of a craftsman...His storytelling comfortably blends historical mystery with unflinching contemporary suspense, all of it told through utterly convincing depictions of setting and character. Inspectors Khalifa and Ben-Roi are heroes of our age: conflicted, harassed, noble and, most crucially, very human. I hope we see more of them very soon." (RAYMOND KHOURY, bestselling author of The Last Templar)
"Another sure fire winner from a gifted storyteller." (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of The Templar Legacy)
"Sussman's brilliant novel...shines a light into a bloody part of the world, where it is hard to tell enemy from friend, and where ancient debts of pain and murder echo to the present. Here is a thriller on a par with the best literature out there. Challenging, shocking, evocative...it should be required reading during these harsh times" (JAMES ROLLINS, bestselling author of The Judas Strain)
"'Ambitious, large-scale adventure...Sussman's fastidious research into the novel's setting grants everything a plausibility...his millennia spanning plot functions as a colourful backdrop'" (GOOD BOOK GUIDE)

Descrizione libro Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ohne Grund würde niemand hierherkommen an diese entlegene Grabungsstätte. Das weiß auch Inspektor Yusuf Khalifa von der Polizei in Luxor. Wonach aber hat der undurchsichtige Piet Jansen im Tal der Könige gesucht In seiner Leiche findet man das Gift eines Skorpions, doch Khalifa will nicht an einen zufälligen Tod glauben. Jansen muß einem Geheimnis auf der Spur gewesen sein, daran läßt schon der antike Lehmziegel in seinem Rucksack keinen Zweifel. Im Haus des Getöteten stößt Khalifa schließlich auf Fundstücke von unschätzbarem Wert - und einen mit einer Feder geschmückten Hut, der auf einen fünfzehn Jahre zurückliegenden grausigen Mord verweist. Die Tote damals war Israelin, der Täter aber ist bis heute nicht identifiziert. Zusammen mit seinem Kollegen Ben-Roi von der Jerusalemer Polizei beginnt Yusuf Khalifa in einem Fall zu ermitteln, dessen Wurzeln über 2000 Jahre zurückreichen. 720 pp. Englisch.
