The Great Jerusalem Poker Game, as it’s eventually known, continues for the next twelve years—the players unwilling to leave a competition whose prize is control of Jerusalem. The players are as exotic as the game: Cairo Martyr, a one-time African slave, now the Middle East’s chief supplier of aphrodisiac mummy dust; Joe O’Sullivan Beare, an Irish tradesman with a specialty in sacred phallic amulets; and Munk Szondi, an Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army colonel turned dedicated Zionist.\u003cbr\u003eBut before the final hand is played to determine the destiny of the Holy City, a dangerous new player enters the picture: Nubar Wallenstein, an Albanian alchemist determined to achieve immortality, and heir to the world’s largest oil syndicate. He finances a vast network of spies dedicated to destroying the players, and his aim is to win complete power over Jerusalem.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJerusalem Poker \u003c\/i\u003eis the second volume of the Jerusalem Quartet, which begins with \u003ci\u003eSinai Tapestry \u003c\/i\u003eand continues with \u003ci\u003eNile Shadows \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJericho Mosaic\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182261616880,"sku":"9781480433908","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480433908_p0.jpg?v=1763619540","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480433908","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
