It was not his dream; but his spirituality. If it was his destiny, the journey it required would surely mean death. Would spiritual enlightenment be enough? Who was he – a simple Rabbi born the lowly son of a Bedouin Shepherd – to go up against the Roman Army? Would he turn his back on his calling or follow his path to its deadly end? Only he could save the sacred texts lying within the walls of Jerusalem's great Temple. Caesar would see the city destroyed and the Temple reduced to rubble in his bid to conquer the Jews – and the rising Christ-followers among them. Blood would be shed to save the scrolls … but how?

A gripping psychological thriller that pits Ari Cohen, former Mossad agent in a human trafficking romance. Ari follows a trail of broken wings and tears, and innocence lost. Ari finds his long-despised rival the Raven involved in a diabolical human trafficking plot. Can Ari rescue his niece Renee who has been kidnapped by a child trafficking cartel in Paris? Author Spencer Hawke is back with the third in the Ari Cohen Series, following the acclaimed success of The Arrows of Islam, IndieReader's 2014 Best Book honoree and The Swiss Conspiracy. The series follows Cohen, a plays-by-his-own-rules Mossad agent, who is pulled into a secret society created by the nation's founding fathers and sworn to protect the United States for more than 200 years. Critics say Hawke's five-star thrillers harken to the works of Silva, Thor and Clancy with a fast pace, sharp wit and intrigue at every turn. The characters are rich and alluring, and each novel leaves the reader waiting for more.
