Hidden secrets, buried truths, and Madeline living a life on the edge. Twenty-six-year-old Madeline, a striking and spirited deaf Archeologist, is about to achieve stardom when she discovers an ancient gold box exposed after an earthquake ravages the historic city of Jerusalem, Israel. Protected for millenniums by families of the Judaic First & Second Temple, the sacred contents date back to the times of Moses. Powerful beyond all expectations, what the artifact reveals is life-changing for those who come in contact with it. But when terrorism orphans a deaf child dear to her, Madeline must decide between celebrity and becoming an international fugitive to protect her young charge. The choice is easy, but the outcome isn’t. Only by following her fiercest instincts will she be saved. Madeline’s adventures give fans of “ Tomb Raider” and “ Raiders of the Lost Ark” a new heroine to follow.
What a great book. The history, the science and the story line are fantastic. The characters get into your soul as you are immersed into the raging conflicts in the middle east. All sides of the arguments are presented with passion and realistically unfortunate results. Enjoyed learning about Israeli customs while exploring the archeology of the area. A wonderful insight into the passions and the history of Israel. Highly recommend this book as a story worthy of your time, you will be immersed into the plot and come out wanting more.
The Jerusalem Chamber is outstanding, providing more than an archeological adventure by adding detailed insights into the culture of the Mid-East and, importantly, into Deaf culture as well. The relationships add to the book and, honestly, are more important than the archaeological storyline, although that sets up subsequent books in this series. This is fast-paced and entertaining.
This book really opens your eyes to the struggles for everyday people living in Israel including some people from the Deaf Community. Really well written, with courageous characters and deep love connections. Keeps you interested until the end.
Better than some of the books I have read lately. A gripping story, seated both in reality and religious mythology. Unfortunately, also part of a series ...
