Book Information
Traces the legend of the lost treasure of the Jews, from the sack of Jerusalem in 70CE, to the body of an Italian man found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge in the late 1980s. The story invokes alchemy, forgery and genocide and involves the Vatican, the Knights Templar and the Nazi SS.
