Synopsis

Compared favorably to Dan Brown's novels, Sam Bourne's The Last Testament takes aim at a conflict that's endured since Biblical times. In Jerusalem, the shooting of an innocent man sets off a chain of killings that threatens to derail a historic deal between the Israelis and Palestinians. Maggie Costello is called in to negotiate the peace, but soon realizes the string of murders is targeting the expert archaelogists who are her only hope of unraveling a long-hidden secret in the Bible.

First of all I would say that users rating this at one-star can't enjoy a simple thriller without any complexity.
