Review

"In this smart and well-paced thriller, former archaeologist Jonathan Marcus is a brainy action hero who delves into biblical lore and historical revisionism."

Publisher's note

A gripping literary thriller about the highstakes search for the legendary Tabernacle Menorah, a priceless historical artifact stolen from the Second Temple in Jerusalem two thousand years ago and never recovered.
Jonathan Marcus was a promising young archeologist studying at the American Academy in Rome when a terrible accident during an illegal excavation resulted in a friendas death and Jonathanas expulsion from the academy. Jonathan abandoned archaeology for the law, developing a reputation as a skillful advocate for some of the art worldas less scrupulous antiquities dealers.
When his firm sends Jonathan to Rome to discredit the testimony of a prominent U.N. antiquities official, heas stunned to discover that the expert is Dr. Emili Travia, a friend and fellow student at the academy who was also at the excavation. This chance reunion prompts Jonathan, against his better judgment, to help Emili as she searches for the fabled Tabernacle Menorah, a priceless historical artifact seized by Roman invaders in the first century A.D. and brought to Rome where it disappeared. As they scour the ancient sites of Rome for hints to the menorahas whereaboutsadeciphering clues to its location left by ancient spies and eighteenth century art restorersait quickly becomes clear that they are not alone in their quest.
What follows is a treasure hunt like no other, a race to find the menorah in order to control a historical perspective of who can defineaand redefineathe past.
By turns a riveting page-turner and a compelling character study, set in the high-stakes arenas of art, politics, and terrorism, The Last Ember is a provocative and fast-paced glimpse into history, religion, and international law.

Forced out of archaeology after an illegal dig that resulted in a colleague's death, antiquities lawyer Jonathan Marcus is sent to Rome to testify against an official who he subsequently aids during a high-stakes search for a priceless and religiously significant historical artifact. 75,000 first printing.

Annotation

Two-thousand years ago a priceless artifact--a golden menorah taller than most men--was stolen from Jerusalem's Second Temple. The Tabernacle Menorah, as it is known, is still missing. Archaeologist-turned lawyer Jonathan Marcus has been sent to Rome on another assignment, but he bumps into an old friend and soon the adventurous pair is mixed up in a fast-paced and increasingly high-stakes hunt, in which the other pursuers will stop at nothing to get their hands on this precious relic.
