The Dead Sea Cipher

Summary

Dinah Van der Lyn hears the cries for help through her hotel room wall, cries in English in the middle of Beirut. "Help" is the only English word spoken. She thinks the men are simply drunk and fighting. Her mistake is the first step on an odyssey of terror that will take Dinah to the fabled cities of Sidon, Tyro, Damascus.... And then Jerusalem, racing through the twisting streets not knowing if the man she is following will lead her to safety...or into a deadly trap!
