Last Secret of the Temple - Paul Sussman ... rarely-visited archaeological site by the Nile, Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor police expects it to be an open-and-shut case. But, the more he finds out about the dead man, the uneasier he becomes. It reminds him of an earlier death - the brutal murder of an Israeli woman for which he always suspected they'd convicted the wrong man. What begins as a routine investigation rapidly turns out to be anything but...Forced into an uneasy alliance with a hard-drinking Jerusalem detective and a campaigning Palestinian journalist, Khalifa enters a murky, murderous world of greed, duplicity, intrigue and revenge as he goes in search of an elusive 2000 year-old mystery with the power, if it fell into the wrong hands, to plunge the Middle East into all-out war...Spanning the millennia - from ancient Jerusalem and the Crusades to the Holocaust and the modern-day no-man's landof the Gaza strip, from Cathar heretics to coded medieval manuscripts and long-lost Nazi treasure - The Last Secret of the Temple is a thrilling, rollercoaster adventure.

There are a lot of things with this book that leave a bad taste...more

Premium Review Last Secret of the Temple - Paul Sussman: A Secret Shame (870 words)
by - written on 23/07/07 (Very useful, 109 readings)

A great man once asked, “War – what is it good for?” People will jump to the quick conclusion that the answer is nothing (absolutely nothing huh). However, without war economies would falter (see USA) and inventions would flounder (see Microwave Ovens). The fact is that in today’s society war is a way of making money.

It could even be that the lasting legacy of that controversial book was not the questions it made us ask but the doors it opened for other, better, books to get the recognition they deserve and to get into the high street markets so much more easily. The blurb on the cover of Paul Sussmans hit book states "the intelligent readers answer to The ...  Read the complete review
