When the world-class archaeologist is presented with a career-defining opportunity to solve the mystery of the Map of Solomon, he begins a round-the-world journey that brings him from the greatest of European museums to the dusty rubble of a Middle Eastern war-zone. Ben is accompanied by Salman, his mysterious benefactor's trusty and resourceful assistant, and by Ronit, an Israeli artifact-hunter who hopes to safeguard the map's treasure. Together, they explore ancient palaces and secret chambers in search of the map, staying one step ahead of the many forces that seek the treasure (and its power) for themselves.
