Deception in Babylon

In the Republic of Yakutia, the Russians have found a deadly toxin buried in the permafrost. Modified at the infamous Vector labs, the viral agent is sold to Iraq for its germ warfare program—their targeted enemy: Israel. Excavations in Iraq, among the ruins of ancient Babylon, yield a surprise find: intact tombs of the Royal Cemetery. Three teams of experts in Babylonian archaeology arrive in the hostile land to open and authenticate the tombs. But each team has an ulterior motive for coming to Iraq. Ethics and etiquette are quickly discarded as personalities, religions, and cultures clash in this high-powered adventure. Jack Cooper, the unlikely hero, emerges as the man who must sort through all the fraud and dishonesty to save both Israel and the woman he has come to love. Only he can overcome the Deception in Babylon!
