When one of Israel’s targeted killings occurs on Turkey’s soil, that country’s president promises severe retaliation.

New York, 2002. Una serie di attentati sanguinosi sta seminando il terrore in ogni parte del mondo, ma i vertici delle agenzie di intelligence brancolano nel buio. Unici indizi i folli comunicati di un serial bomber, che preannuncia i massacri a mezzo di messaggi tortuosi fra le righe del Corano, agghiaccianti promesse di morte siglate dall'arcano simbolo di un anello leggendario. Un anello che incatena avvenimenti lontanissimi nel tempo, drammaticamente legati al suo infausto luccichio.

È antichissimo. D'oro massiccio. Pesa almeno settanta chilogrammi. E nessuno sa dove sia. Basterebbe questo a farne uno degli oggetti più preziosi del mondo.Tuttavia la Menorah, il sacro candelabro ebraico a sette bracci razziato dal Tempio di Gerusalemme nel 70 d.C., è molto di più: è il simbolo stesso d'Israele, l'emblema della sua travagliata storia plurimillenaria. Ritrovarlo significa conquistarsi la gratitudine eterna di un intero popolo. O avere un potente mezzo di ricatto contro quel popolo.
