In this most fractious city, a plot unfolds to bomb the sacred Temple Mount. \u003cbr\u003e Christopher Lucas, an expatriate American journalist, stumbles upon the plot while investigating religious fanatics. Entangled in the intrigue are a nightclub singer, an unstable Jewish guru, a strung-out Kabbalist seeking the messiah, and a soldier of fortune routinely found at the world's violent clashes. A confrontation in Gaza, a chase through riot-filled streets, a cat-and-mouse game in an underground maze--as Lucas races against time, he uncovers the duplicity and depravity on all sides of Jerusalem's sacred struggle. \u003cbr\u003e An explosive bestseller, \u003cem\u003eDamascus Gate\u003c\/em\u003e lays bare the dangers at the fringes of faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A transcendent thriller.\"--\u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Brims over with plots, subplots, and an impressive array of incisively drawn characters . . .
