From the back of the
book --
Father, Son, Stone
blends history and mystery to reveal the secret of the most
controversial religious site in Jerusalem — known to Jews as the Temple
Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. In the year 2035, a
grandfather and his grandson enter the Dome of the Rock on the Temple
Mount. The grandfather, speaking Arabic, tells his grandson why Jews no
longer pray at the Western Wall. The grandfather’s story begins in 1967
during the Six-Day War, with three Israeli paratroopers fighting in the
battle for Jerusalem. The tale continues fifty years later, in 2017,
after a catastrophic event near the Temple Mount brings together the
same three men — now the Prime Minister of Israel, a Justice of the
Supreme Court of Israel, and a Mossad agent. As the crisis unfolds, the
three seek to discover the reason behind mysterious events that occurred
on the Temple Mount during the Six-Day War. The truth, when finally
revealed, changes Jerusalem, and the people who live there, forever.
