Klappentext

The elusive Crusader Gold: the greatest prize missing from the final bloody conflict of the Crusades. Believed to be the Jewish menorah, the huge golden candlestick looted by the Romans in AD70 when they sacked the Temple in Jerusalem and marched through Rome in triumph, it was carried off to Constantinople. Now, nobody knows where it is. Some Jewish activists today think it survived and is concealed in the Vatican. Some think it took altogether more extraordinary turn, at the beginning of history itself. Jack Howard is the only man who can find out. But the clock is ticking against him. Will ancient history give up one of its darkest secrets? The quest to find out takes him from the Roman Empire to the last days of Nazi power - and uncovers a trail more thrilling than anyone ever imagined.
