The Goliath Bone (Center Point Platinum Mystery (Large Print))

In the midst of a Manhattan snowstorm, Hammer halts the violent robbery of a pair of college sweethearts who have stumbled onto a remarkable archaeological find in the Valley of Elah: the perfectly preserved femur of what may have been the biblical giant Goliath. The two were heading into a subway station with the bone carefully wrapped in the boy's arms when Hammer averted the hit. But their troubles are just beginning. Islamic terrorists and Israeli extremists are bent on recovering the relic, and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Now, it's up to Hammer and his loyal girl Friday, Velda, to fight a foe deadlier than they've ever encountered.
