A Long Way to Shiloh

THE MENORAH MEN, Lionel Davidson's acclaimed best seller, is set in Israel, the author's adopted country. It is a thriller with an archeological background which tells of the modern quest for the original Menorah, the Holy Grail of the Jewish faith.

Caspar Laing, a young British archaeologist, is persuaded to travel to Israel to decipher a recently discovered scroll. Its contents set him hot on the trail of the long-lost Menorah. Accompanied by Shoshana, a dusky Yemenite soldier who is his chauffeuse, Laing scours the Holy Land in a dangerous search for a priceless buried treasure.
