Life Before Death (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494936587)

The smoke clears across the desert plateau as Lucius Flavius Silva surveys his victory over the rebel Jews at Masada. The body of his fallen enemy, Elezar ben Yair, lies at Lucius' feet, a gold medallion clutched in its dead fist - a medallion with a curse, a curse that brings grave misfortune to Lucius. The medallion travels through the ages, bringing death and misery to all who lay claim to it. Southern California doctor, Mark Patterson, and his new wife, Ayu, are honeymooning on the South Pacific island of Bali when he discovers the medallion hidden deep in the underbrush of a mountainside coffee farm. The medallion's curse lies dormant for more than a decade. Ayu has just died in a tragic car accident and Mark is trying to put the pieces of his life back together as he faces the challenge of raising their twelve-year-old daughter, Jaya, on his own. But, some force is keeping that from happening. Mark is plagued by nightmares and visions of his dead wife. Is this the work of the medallion? Is his wife haunting him from the grave, or is he simply losing his mind? Mark must exercise his demons if he is to reclaim his life - or fall deeper into his insanity trying. Think The Sixth Sense meets The Mummy's Curse. Life Before Death is a mystery-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
