AUSCHWITZ - 29th March 1943. THE FIVE COINS MUST NOT FALL INTO GERMAN HANDS. Five of the thirty pieces of silver given to Judas have been held by a succession of custodians for almost two thousand years. The succession is threatened by the Holocaust. The Rabbi must hide the five coins. He must entrust his custodianship to another. But did he choose the right person. Where have the five pieces of silver been for the past seventy years? Are they lost forever, buried, destroyed, or will an entry in an obscure diary lead one man to the coins and keep them safe from the neo-Nazi who would use the coins for his own purposes? Another thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones .
