The Lastest Addition to the Adventures of Jim Kirkwood Jim Kirkwood's
visit to an antique shop in Queens, New York, starts with an invitation and ends in a hail of bullets. Kirkwood, a self-indulgent,
self-confident, and at times unsympathetic connoisseur of human nature, finds himself swept into a bottomless pit of betrayal
and malice in his hunt for perhaps the greatest archeological find of all time. At a clandestine auction held at a mansion
in southern England, the situation quickly turns deadly, throwing Kirkwood into a cat and mouse game of deception, greed,
and murder.
In his search for what has been lost for hundreds of years, Kirkwood chases a man of the Church who
just may be the most evil person he has ever encountered, and a woman who is by far the most beautiful and mysterious. Along
with Iain MacLeod, Chief of the Clan MacLeod, Kirkwood crisscrosses Scotland and England in pursuit of a murderer and the
treasure that may hold secrets associated with the Gnostic Gospels.
Reunited with an old comrade, Kirkwood must
settle old scores, but it may cost him his life. The Ebony Coffin, author B. Eugene Ellison's fifth Jim Kirkwood
novel, is an exhilarating, fast-paced adventure filled with history and intrigue.
