The Judas Conspiracy Robert B Williams

** A fast-paced thriller from Robert B. Williams **

An armed assault force raids the marble halls of the British Museum. The target - the most heinous relic of all time - the last surviving coin of the blood money paid to Judas Iscariot for his betrayal of Christ.

For over a thousand years the cursed pieces of silver cut a swath of famine, pestilence and ruinous destruction wherever they were carried. To save humanity from the malevolent power of the coins, the Knights Templar were given a Papal Blessing and sent on a pilgrimage to the holy lands to find and hide the thirty pieces of silver.

A sinister organization has unlocked a chilling secret--the ability to control the power of the coin and use it as a terrifying weapon, posing the greatest threat to mankind in history.

Sanford Carter, antiquities thief and ladies' man, has been ensnared by the secret service and forced to execute a daring burglary on their behalf. His mission is simple - steal the coin first.

Sarah Hudson, the studious and law-abiding archaeologist who doesn't believe in curses, only science, is in the wrong place at the wrong time and refuses to hand over the coin or allow Carter to get away with his bold crime.

With ruthless dark forces closing in, the brazen thief and the scholarly archaeologist must unlock the hidden history of the coin if they are to safeguard humanity from its evil curse.

From the cobbled streets of London to the spectacular volcanic landscapes of Iceland, The Judas Conspiracy sets a cracking pace from the start and never lets up.
