For three thousand years it lay hidden beneath the desert sands of Syria -- the ultimate artifact, an inscription bearing the last word of God.  Its text could shatter the precepts of all theological history and threaten the very fabric of modern civilization.

At the center of The Discovery are Lieutenant Jack Raines of the Los Angeles Police Tactical Division and the brilliant and beautiful archaeologist, Gabriella Bercovici.  They are inexorably drawn together in a deadly pursuit that races across three continents.  Arrayed against them are agents of Syrian intelligence, CIA operatives, private collectors consumed by the need to possess at any price, and perhaps even the malevolent spirit of a Canaanite devil-god.

The taut and thrilling action of The Discovery moves from the mean streets of Los Angeles's narcotics underworld to great museums and universities, from ancestral English estates to a heart-stopping climax in a dark, forbidding crypt beneath the ruins of ancient Megiddo.

The Discovery is the new best seller from Steve Shagan, author of the million-copy sellers The Formula and The Circle.

Based in fact, The Discovery combines the compelling suspense of an archaeological treasure hunt, the hard-hitting action of a contemporary international thriller, and the romance oof a haunting love story.
