This is the story of Professor Tudor Parfitt's twenty-year quest to find the lost Ark of the Covenant and his discovery of its secret location. The Ark of the Covenant was said to contain the Ten Commandments given to Moses, and to possess an awesome divine power. Parfitt's quest took him from ancient codes and documents in Oxford and Jerusalem, to the legends of a strange tribe near the Limpopo river, and to groundbreaking discoveries of modern genetic science. But some didn't want the ark to be found. He narrowly escaped being kidnapped, he was shot at, ambushed and arrested. His search finally led him to an artefact identical to the Biblical description of the ark - but it wasn't at all where he expected. Blending scholarship with all the twists and turns of a gripping detective novel, The Lost Ark of the Covenant will enthral you, and it might just change your world-view. 400pp, 153mm x 234mm, illus. in colour, hardback, 2008
