Among the Ashes

Graham Eliot

By: Doug Powell

Narrated by: Doug Powell

As Graham Eliot digitizes manuscripts in the world’s oldest library at the foot of Mount Sinai, a monk reveals the existence of a secret artifact behind the mysterious death of the prominent archaeologist who discovered it almost a century earlier. Now, it is lost in the ruins of an Istanbul mansion. But the only photograph of the artifact reveals an even bigger secret—Mount Sinai may actually be somewhere else.

While in Istanbul, Graham learns the graduate student who was with him at the monastery library is missing. His last known location: one of the dozen mountains that may be the biblical Sinai, a forbidden mountain in a forbidden country. Now, Graham has to find a way to rescue him without being detected. And in the process, he may recover a history with explosive political implications.

Highly recommend!

This series has sparked in me an interest in archaeology, and the locations in the book had me searching online to find photos so I could see for myself! The introduction of the grad student Alexander in this book was a real highlight for me, bringing a fresh youthful perspective to the dialogue. Throughout the story, the characters, locations, and suspense kept me completely invested.
