Damascus Gate (Paperback, None)

"A stunning novel by a great American writer."--"Washington Post"
Jerusalem: home to seekers, heretics, hustlers, and madmen of many faiths. In this most fractious city, a plot unfolds to bomb the sacred Temple Mount.
Christopher Lucas, an expatriate American journalist, stumbles upon the plot while investigating religious fanatics. Entangled in the intrigue are a nightclub singer, an unstable Jewish guru, a strung-out Kabbalist seeking the messiah, and a soldier of fortune routinely found at the world's violent clashes. A confrontation in Gaza, a chase through riot-filled streets, a cat-and-mouse game in an underground maze--as Lucas races against time, he uncovers the duplicity and depravity on all sides of Jerusalem's sacred struggle.
An explosive bestseller, "Damascus Gate" lays bare the dangers at the fringes of faith.
"A transcendent thriller."--"Time"
"Brims over with plots, subplots, and an impressive array of incisively drawn characters . . . The range of Stone's] knowledge is spectacular."--"The New Yorker"
"Damascus Gate asks enormous questions about cosmic truth--and its effect on those who think they own it--with intensity, intellectual rigor and abiding morality."--"San Francisco Chronicle"
