About the Book

A multilingual New York journalist accepts a news anchor post for the second most powerful TV station in Jerusalem, Israel. She will stop at nothing to make her station number one, following any newsworthy subject--even a terrorist. Assigned to investigate Operation Solomon, the 1991 covert Israeli military operation to take Ethiopian Jews back to Israel, she becomes entangled in the search for the Ark of the Covenant, the chest that holds the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments are inscribed. The assignment will uncover stunning family secrets, and may cost Ethel not only her job, but her life. The events are based on the author's interpretation of historical fact.
