An Arab youth finds an old jar in a cave in Jordan and in it is a scroll.  He takes it to Ramallah to his cousin to get it translated because it might have Kabbalist secrets and is questioned by an Israeli security service.  His body is found after being rammed by a car.Greg McKenzie,  retired OSI from the military, is hot headed and blurts out his opinions, which keeps him from advancement in the military and makes enemies for him with the Nashville Police Dept. when he worked there as a Detective for the D.A.'s office after retirement from the military.  Greg and his wife Jill visit Israel and the mid-east where a souvenir street vendor convinces Jill to purchase what appears to be an old scroll and she tucks it in her carryon.  After picking up their luggage at the airport on their return, they find the locks on the cases have been cut off and the luggage rifled.  Immediately after returning home, Jill suddenly disappears and Greg gets a phone call telling him they will exchange Jill for the scroll.  Greg takes it to two different professors who translate the scroll for him.  The story continues filled with murder, close escapes, car chases, a Palestinian radical group, an Israeli radical group and Jordan all after this scroll.  The story is  page turner, fascinating, fast moving and not very long.  It is an easy read and entertaining.  I recommend it.
