The Promise is a legal thriller and romantic suspense novel that brings ancient biblical lore into modern times.
The catalyst for the story is a promise to a doomed priest who is witnessing the destruction of King Solomon’s Temple in ancient Israel. At the same time, he is trying to save a sacred religious object, the mysterious urim and thummin.
Now in contemporary United States, three protagonists -- an art professor, a government prosecutor, and a powerful entrepreneur -- must deal with the promise's unanticipated consequences. The conflicting needs of the threesome reflect a classic, biblical tension point: the clash between an individual's evil and good inclinations.
