This investigative report into the 1992 murder of the American archaeologist Albert Glock reveals layers of politics and intrigue among Palestinians and Israelis, and the involvement of Glock, who was killed in the West Bank during the Intifada. As the author retraces the events and searches for clues, he examines the difficulty for outsiders in grasping the everchanging circumstances in the region and explores the role of biblical archaeology as a weapon in that dispute.
