Hammer Spade And The Ring Of Fire
This story is about a wedding ring with an ancient Babylonian inscription. It is 2,490 years old. It was the ring given by Persian King Xerxes to his new Queen, the Biblical Esther, on their wedding night. It was stolen from the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This case would the most difficult challenge in Hammer’s career as he, Jack Kane, Dave Quigley, and a new team member, Rachel Clark. Locating and recovering the Ring of Fire would test their ingenuity to the fullest as they traveled, first to Russia, then to Greece, Belgrade, Istanbul, Rome, Somalia, Damascus and Kuwait.
