Synopsis "Contrato con Dios (in Spanish)"

Financiada por un misterioso multimillonario norteamericano, y dirigida por un anciano arqueólogo israelí, una expedición secreta penetra en las profundidades del desierto de Jordania. A partir de dos mapas fragmentarios, se ha localizado por fin con mucha precisión el lugar en donde fue escondida el Arca de la Alianza por los judíos que la salvaron de la destrucción del Segundo Templo. Saltando de Jordania a Washington y de la expedición a los hombres que intentan impedir su éxito, la narración avanza a ritmo vertiginoso hasta un desenlace complicado por el ataque de los traidores y por la súbita aparición de un simún. / Financed by a mysterious North American multimillionaire and headed by an elderly Israeli archaeologist, a secret expedition penetrates deep into the Jordan desert. Based on two fragmentary maps, they have been able at last to precisely locate the place where the Ark of the Alliance had been hidden by the Jews after rescuing it from the destruction of the Second Temple. Shifting from Jordan to Washington, and from the expedition to those men who attempt to thwart their success, the narrative unravels at a vertiginous pace until the denouement of the novel reveals a final twist with the traitors' attack and the sudden coming of a simoom.
