Lawyer and former classics scholar Jonathan and UNESCO antiquities expert Emili chase a mysterious man known only as Salah al-din, who has been leading an illegal excavation under the Temple Mount and has now appeared in Rome. Jonathan and Emilis adventures start in the hidden tunnels under the Coliseum and continue across the Roman Forum into the Jewish ghetto and eventually to Jerusalem. Their fast-paced and exciting quest repeatedly finds them seeking clues in ancient maps and manuscripts, and then going underground to follow the trail.
