Following my degree in fine art at St. Martin's School of Art I enjoyed a regular run of exhibitions both abroad and in the UK before embarking on a successful career in commercial illustration. I have featured in the Jewish Chronicle and the Royal Geographical Society Magazine and also contributed articles to The Jews College Magazine. In 2007 (aged 47) my first book, King Saul, the True History of the First Messiah (an "trade academic" revisionist portrait of Israel's first king) was published by the Lutterworth Press to critical acclaim. (http://www.lutterworth.com/product_info.php?products_id=1294) I am married to Dido (nee Nicholson), a former Saddlers Wells ballerina and now a reader in rehabilitation at Oxford. Following two years in Israel I now divide my time between London, Oxford and our small fruit farm in southern Spain where in addition to writing and painting I make traditional Malaga wine

In the vein of Indiana Jones, The Sons of Kohath: Tragedy, Travesty, Tapas and the Ark of God by Adam Green tells the tale of archaeologist Alex Martinez. This highly respected scientist is drawn into an incredible story involving one of the most significant relics of Judeo-Christian theology. Unfortunately, the political climate in Spain under General Franco caused the amazing find to be hidden under threat of destruction. With the help of several colleagues from around the world, Alex is able to investigate the find and learn about its appearance at a synagogue in Toledo, Spain, since the government has forbidden any mention of it. Through many years, even long after Franco's death, the relic must remain hidden for new political reasons. Instead of being able to reveal the truth, Alex must remain silent or face the fate a number of people already suffered - death. How can a man whose passion is to bring the past to life to explain who we are and where we came from keep such a secret from the world?
The Sons of Kohath: Tragedy, Travesty, Tapas and the Ark of God by Adam Green is an excellent book that is full of thrilling action, terrific characters and intelligent dialogue. The in-depth scientific and religious explanations are down to earth so the background is easy to follow to flesh out the story and the importance of the historic relic. It is also a clear commentary on political life in Spain under the dictator Franco, as well as a social commentary on leaders of all groups maintaining the status quo, even in the face of overwhelming evidence pointing to new information. With so much to offer, this book appeals to a wide range of readers.
