In a world tainted by corruption, arms and diamond dealing, nuclear ambitions and political intrigue; the unlawful retrieval of an ancient relic by South Africa and Israel from a church in Ethiopia results in a top secret international arbitration in Vesailles. Peter Ramsden tells his story in his own inimitable, point blank, precisely accurate, no nonsense, easy reading style. The line between fact and fiction is very thin, and this advocate, engineer, author and once unconventional warfare platoon commander has just made it a whole lot thinner. The Covenant Stone is a parallel-reality international intrigue suspense thriller. Warning: once you open this book you will not be able to put it down.
