Summary
"This book tells the untold story of Monty Parker, a British rogue nobleman who headed a secret expedition to find the fabled Ark of the Covenant. In 1908, Monty is approached by a scholar named Valter Juvelius who claims to have discovered a secret code in the Bible that reveals the location of the Ark. Monty assembles a group of adventurers to engage in a secret excavation just outside Jerusalem. Using records from the original expedition and several newly translated sources, True Raiders is the first retelling of this group's adventures"--, Back cover
