Lawyer Turned Novelist Pens Historically Intriguing Thriller

Move over Dan Brown, author Itamar Bernstein draws from an actual archeological discovery to create a riveting and compelling story in The Bone Box

Encino, California (PRWeb) January 14, 2007 -- In The Bone Box, a new novel by Itamar Bernstein, an obscured archeological find of truly momentous significance to Christianity sends a Jerusalem detective on an international chase.

In The Bone Box, an inspector in the police headquarters of the Russian compound in Jerusalem is assigned to a case involving stolen ossuaries from the Rockefeller archeological museum. He nearly blows off the case due to his grief and guilt over his son's recent suicide. However, incited by the mysterious lack of cooperation from a museum official, Michael begins his investigation, discovering murder and deception. While pursued by mysterious adversaries, Michael travels all over the world in search for the significance of the ossuaries. Along the way, he finds true love and ultimately must decide what is most important, a second chance at life or solving the case.

Having lost his own first born to suicide, author Itamar Bernstein shares the message of recovery through love while uncovering the secrecy surrounding the real discovery of a bone box in Jerusalem, which some people believe to be the remains of Jesus Christ. Part love story, part religious thriller, The Bone Box is a real page-turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

"Thriller about loss, love, renewal, symbolism and the greatest actual biblical archeological discovery in history."
