BETRAYED A Story of Palestine - Past and Present Two women - divided by culture and millennia - betrayed by those they love. One country - betrayed by the world. Charlotte Adams takes a job in Jerusalem as a translator of some recently unearthed clay fragments. The tablets throw astonishing new light on the fall of ancient Jericho. As she translates the brutal story of Joshua's invasion, she finds herself caught up in the violence of the present day occupation of Palestine. When Charlotte's boss puts some of her findings on the internet, she is ruthlessly pursued for clues to the secret power source used by Joshua to devastate Canaan, which threatens to unleash even greater destruction in the modern world. Charlotte is caught up in an international web of intrigue and danger, and the only person she can really trust appears to be the girl who left behind her story on clay fragments over three millennia ago. What men will do for power - and just how far will women go in pursuit of beauty?
