Highly recommended for fans, like me, of action, history, secrets, and conspiracies." Steve Berry, the New York Times bestselling author of The Lincoln Myth and The King's Deception "Tightly woven, lightning-paced, and touching the heart, Temple Mount tells a story as old as time and as current as today's headlines."
