The Sidon Incident (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781451518559)

"The Sidon Incident" opens with "Ghostly figures in hooded garments" accompanying a corpse from Jerusalem. From that moment the reader will be hooked. C. David Priest captivates and takes the reader on a global journey involving ancient rituals, intermingled with modern intrigue, cloaked in the trappings of religion. Professor Ernst von Biden and reporter Marvin Challet embark on a oddessy that includes a young archeologist with an unknown illness, all the way to the Vatican.In between they are confronted with horrible betrayal, two malevolent assassins spreading fear and evil, and a set of unidentifiable bones deep in the cave of a shrine. Gnostics and Catholics battle legally and covertly to possess the shrine as Muslims watch. This author fluidly weaves together several story lines filled with surprises and a satisfying ending. The story radiates from the United States to Europe, climaxing in Lebanon. The Sidon Incident will leave you begging for more. Hisani P. Dubose
