The Promise

by David R Spiegel

A priest in King Solomon’s Jerusalem temple is desperately trying to save two mysterious artifacts that are connected to the sacred religious rites of ancient Israel and its All Mighty powerful God. 

When a celestial messenger appears, he agrees to give the artifacts to her in exchange for a seemingly benevolent promise.

Now, in modern day United States, three people—two men and a woman—must deal with the promise’s unintended consequences and a life and death prophecy that affects each of them and the world in which they live. The lives of this threesome collide and are forever changed in this action-driven novel which combines themes of love, deception, betrayal, and redemption into a riveting story.

If you like religious and legal thrillers with page-turning suspense, memorable characters, and unexpected plot twists, you’ll love David R Spiegel’s debut novel.

To save a religious artifiact called a urim and thummim, a priest in King Solomon’s temple makes a promise to a heavenly messenger that affects three people in the modern US—an attorney investigating art forgeries, a woman professor, and an art thief. It sometimes felt a bit contrived, but it was a good story for the book club I am in that read it.

This was a fabulous book. I literally could not put it down. Exciting action; interesting background. Definitely worth the read.
