When a billionaire offers him a deal too good to resist, professor of antiquities Jack Hawthorne embarks on an assignment to discover the bones of the prophet Elisha--bones that brought the dead back to life in the Old Testament.
Every year, professor of antiquities Jack Hawthorne looks forward to the winter break as a time to hide away from his responsibilities. Even if just for a week or two. But this year, his plans are derailed when he's offered almost a blank check from a man chasing a rumor. Billionaire Gordon Reese thinks he knows where the bones of the prophet Elisha are--bones that in the Old Testament brought the dead back to life. A born skeptic, Jack doesn't think much of the assignment but he could use the money, so he takes the first step on a chase for the legendary bones that will take him to the very ends of the earth. But he's not alone. Joined with a fiery colleague, Esperanza Habilla, they soon discover clues to a shadowy organization whose long-held secrets have been protected . . . at all costs. As their lives are threatened again and again, the real race is to uncover the truth before those chasing them hunt them down.
Indiana Jones meets The DaVinci Code in this fast-paced archeological thriller where eternal life is the reward in the chase to uncover an ancient secret.
