"In late 2017, the world of a group of young archaeologists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem turns upside down when they discover a sealed cave in the Judean Desert from the end of the Great Revolt. Before the secret organization manages to eliminate all the evidence, and even the archaeologists themselves. The "Desert Scroll" is a dizzying historical thriller that moves between today and the ruined Judea after the end of the revolt. Archaeological finds and ancient texts reveal an impossible love story between a jealous rebel and the daughter of a high priest, the brave friendship of two warriors from opposing backgrounds - the rebel commander and a young Samaritan, and the experiences of a cruel and ambitious Roman officer determined to get his hands on the treasure. A kind-hearted professor, a mysterious murderer, a rude field man, a corrupt policeman, a loyal Bedouin, a determined scroll researcher, an old monk and a secret cult, who swore to keep the secret buried forever."--The back cover
