      Synopsis

      Without warning, machine-gun bullets ricochet off buildings and hit the ground, raising ugly puffs of dust in the village square. Screams of the injured and dying pierce the Easter Sunday spring air. Terror holds the heroine in momentary paralysis, and you, the reader, holding your breath. Legend of the Spear launches the reader and twenty-seven-year-old Dimiter Markovitz into a fast-moving, perilous journey of terror, intrigue, double-cross and paranormal events in search of two ancient icons of the Christian world: the Cup of Arimathaea and the Spear of Longinus. This novel will appeal to those yearning to escape into a shadow world of danger, intrigue and magic. Aficionados of high adventure and fast pace-be they nineteen or ninety-will find themselves breathlessly sitting on the edge of their chairs as the story unfolds. Events of spirit and paranormal happenings woven throughout this adventure will fascinate the metaphysically inclined reader, as well as admirers of the trilogy of Indiana Jones. Historical references, accurate descriptions and well-known legends integrated into this surprising work add factual interest and give a sense of credibility and reality to this fictional story.
