The Tenth Sword of the Prophet

The “Tenth Sword of the Prophet” is a story that unravels multiple conspiracies that lie deep within the history of nascent Islam and the Judeo-Christian Heritage. At the center of the story is Michael, a brilliant Professor at Princeton University who specializes in Middle Eastern anthropology and is an expert in ancient Semitic languages.
Right at the heels of a shocking murder at the Saint Catherine Monastery in the Sinai, Michael is summoned by top Clergy to help lead the investigation. This pivotal event catapults Michael into a hazardous adventure of murders and intrigues set with the backdrop of religion and politics in the Middle East, including the theft of sacred relics from the Topkapi Museum, that takes him across Europe, Tel Aviv, Damascus, and Tehran in search of the truth. At the heart of all the mystery and intrigue, a race unfolds to uncover a secret parchment hidden within the missing sword of Mohammad that threatens to reveal the true successor to the Prophet and potentially shake the very foundation of Islam itself and complicate a tenuous balance of power in an already burning Middle East. During his adventures, Michael rekindles with an old flame while battling foes and dubious characters.
