Gods' Gold

Gods' Gold is a mystery about the discovery of alternative truths and how the characters chose to deal with those truths. The uncovering of ancient secrets is enlightenment for some, and for others, a reason to commit murder.

In 1902, Egyptologist, Flinders Petrie discovered tons of ‘white ash’ in the Sinai. Believing the ‘ash’ to be ancient sacrifices or burnt offerings, he was unable to find traces of charred bones or burn marks on stones or in caves to support his theory.

This begins the mystery of Petrie’s ‘white ash’.

Present day Iraq, Sergeant, Mitchell Harrington, an anthropologist in civilian life, is on a reconnaissance mission of a bombed out village. There he discovers buried jugs containing ‘white ash’ he suspects to be part of Petrie’s original discovery.

After smuggling the ‘ash’ out of Iraq, Harrington rekindles his relationship with Analisa Scotti, an adjunct professor and scientist at the University of Arizona. Analyzing the ‘ash’, Analisa determines the strange substance contains mysterious capabilities.

Because of its anomalous properties, the ‘ash’ becomes the obsession of an Arab emir, two brothers who are deserters from the Iraqi Police, an Italian arms dealer, and assassins hired by a Vatican official to destroy its legacy.

Those struggling to claim the ‘ash’ are brought together in a fiery conclusion. The mystery of Flinders Petrie’s discovery of the ‘ash’, along with the ancient secret it possesses, is finally revealed.

The secret of the ‘white ash’ is so profound, it has the potential to alter history and challenge the long established paradigms of civilization.
