The Dead Sea cipher

It was the start of a grand adventure in a land of antiquity, a rare opportunity to visit biblical places rich in tradition. But in a Jerusalem hotel room a world away from everything she knows, Dinah van der Lyn hears angry voices through the wall, followed by a crash and a brief cry in English . . . for help! The brutal shattering of an evening’s stillness becomes a prelude to terror. Without warning, Dinah has been unwittingly pulled into something unholy transpiring in a sacred city, and she must find answers hidden in the shadows. And she must trust an enigmatic stranger as she races through ancient, twisting streets teeming with secrets and peril: a man who may be leading her to safety . . . or to her doom.

Dinah Van der Lyn heard the cries for help through her hotel room wall, cries in English in the middle of Beirut. She thought the men were simply drunk and fighting. Her mistake was the first step on an odyssey of terror that would Take Dinah to the fabled cities of Sidon, Tyre and Damascus.
