# data[].attributes.description
A special four-in-one edition of Edward Whittemores epic Jerusalem QuartetIn Sinai Tapestry, it is 1840, and Plantagenet Strongbow, the twenty-ninth duke of Dorset, seven-feet-seven-inches tall and the greatest swordsman and botanist of Victorian England, walks away from the family estate and disappears into the Sinai Desert carrying only a large magnifying glass and a portable sundial. He emerges forty years later as an Arab holy man and anthropologist, now the author of a massive study of Levantine sexand the secret owner of the Ottoman Empire.In Jerusalem Poker, on New Years Eve, 1921, three men sit down to a poker game. The Great Jerusalem Poker Game, as its eventually known, continues for the next twelve years. The players are as exotic as the game: Cairo Martyr, a one-time African slave, now the Middle Easts chief supplier of aphrodisiac mummy dust; Joe OSullivan Beare, an Irish tradesman with a specialty in sacred phallic amulets; and Munk Szondi, an Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army colonel turned dedicated Zionist. And they are playing for no less than the control of Jerusalem itself.In Nile Shadows, in 1941, a hand grenade explodes in a Cairo bar, taking the life of Stern, a petty gunrunner and morphine addict. His death could easily go unnoticed as Rommels tanks charge through the desert in an attempt to open the Middle East to Hitlers forces. Yet the mystery behind Sterns death is a top priority for intelligence experts. Master spies from three countries converge on Joe OSullivan Beare, who is closer to Stern than anyone, in an effort to unravel the disturbing puzzle. The search for the truth about Stern leads OSullivan Beare through the slums of Cairo to a decaying former brothel called the Hotel Babylon.And in Jericho Mosaic, Yossi is an ideal agent for the Mossad. Hes recruited by an agent named Tajar, and code-named the Runner. Thus begins the longest-running and most successful operation in the history of Israeli intelligence. Meanwhile, in the desert oasis of Jericho, Abu Musa, an Arab patriarch, and Moses the Ethiopian, meet each day over games of shesh-besh and glasses of Arak to ponder history and humanity. We learn about the friendship of Yossis son, Assaf, an Israeli soldier badly wounded during the Six Day War, and Yousef, a young Arab teacher who, in support of the Palestinian cause, decides to live as an exile in the Judean wilderness.
