Jerusalem, 70 A.D.
As the besieged city falls to the Romans, a Jewish priest rescues a precious cargo.
Jerusalem, 2007.
When a bomb destroys a museum of biblical archaeology, the Israeli government blames Arab terrorists. Journalist Benjamin Jordan finds disturbing holes in the official explanation and quickly finds himself in the crosshairs.
One person could help unravel the plot -- Professor Catherine Cavanaugh -- but she has powerful reasons to keep her knowledge to herself.
Driven by ambition, scarred by terrorism, torn by the crosscurrents of an age-old conflict, Jordan must decide whom to trust and how far he'll go. His digging could unlock a 2,000-year-old mystery -- and unleash a cataclysm.

"Loved it"
This is a great thriller! Hilzenrath must have done extensive research, because he's able to describe everything so vividly. The story is both thought-provoking and fun, with Indiana Jones touches.
"Highly recommended"
Jezebel's Tomb is a thoughtful, engrossing, enormously fun-to-read thriller. The characters are finely drawn, the exotic locales are so well described that you feel like you're there, and the story rips along at a breathtaking pace. The perfect book for your next vacation -- at the beach or lounging comfortably on your own sofa.
"Page-Turner!! "
I just finished Jezebel's Tomb and have to say it's one of those hard-to-come-by page turners that belongs in the category of "Don't Bother Me, I'm Reading!".
After a colleague recommended it I read the first chapters of the serialized version on the washingtonpost.com website. I got so involved in the story that I couldn't wait for the next installments and am delighted I bought the book.
This is a gem that will go on our book club list immediately. I couldn't put it down!
