Daniel Levin

Daniel Levin (born 1975 in Hollywood, FL)- an American Jewish lawyer and author. The Last Ember is an archaeological crime thriller, whose protagonist, an American lawyer named Jonathan Marcus, stumbles onto a hidden message in an ancient marble fragment in Rome. This discovery pulls him and Dr. Emili Travia, a UN antiquities preservationist and former flame of his, into a high-stakes race to find the legendary Tabernacle Menorah. 

The plot centers on the search for the solid gold, eight-foot-high Menorah stolen from the Second Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D. The protagonists must outmaneuver a dangerous radical known as Salah ad-Din, who is part of a modern plot to erase all Jewish and Christian historical ties to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. The journey takes the characters through the hidden tunnels of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the biblical-era labyrinth beneath Jerusalem.
