5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting Investigative Journalism, 15 Jul 2001
By Well Read "saro319" (Norhampton England) - See all my reviews
  
Edward Fox narrates a sinister tale of intrigue, but the question is whose? Several hypotheses are presented, following painstaking sifting through the facts. However, nothing is ever quite what it appears to be, at least on the surface. The book is in the genre of one of the best unsolved murder mysteries. Riveting, because throughout there is a dark side to the story. Danger stalks Dr Glock on several fronts. His archaeological work is fraught with suspicion and strife. There are a number of people and factions who could have scores to settle! Was he assassinated by the Israelis for daring to persist in uncovering evidence of their questionable archaeology or, was he eliminated in mafia style by a more local angst ridden group? The character of the man and his work provide clues. The background of the first Intifada and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank are factors that cannot be ignored. Like a broken potshard, Fox fits the pieces of Glock's life together. In a society where potentially dangerous rumour and counter rumours abound, bringing coherence to the story of Dr Glock's death is no small task. A book that would translate into an exciting film, it has all the ingredients of a local academic and large scale political intrigue to stretch the imagination. A tragic gripping story of a stubbornly courageous man.
