Crusader - Paperback

by Ron Kattawar (Author)

Many gave their lives to hide history's most wealthy treasure. It is their sacrifice that allows us to follow brave monks that did the impossible. They hid four hundred thousand pounds of pure gold from Phillip, King of France in 1148. It is so well hidden, so well concealed that eight hundred years later the vanishing has perplexed every generation since and created history's greatest treasure mystery. One man, a resolute monk is the only person that knew its whereabouts. When King Phillip's army raided Our Lady of the Clouds Monastery, they found not one gold coin. In their zeal and determination to locate the treasure, that lone monk, Ornot, gave his life, taking the secret with him to his death. Only a handful of people know that Ornot had noted the whereabouts of the gold in his hand written Bible. His memoirs are not only written in cryptic puzzles, but he uses Aramaic, a dead language spoken by Christ when HE was on earth. Three modern day adventurers undeterred by myths and legends attempt to cypher the dead language and unravel the mysterious clues in the ancient Bible.
