As the President of the United States disappears within the bowels of a Mayan temple the world holds its breath. What lies deep beneath the Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, Mexico? Does it shed light on a thousand-year-old question? Amateur archaeologist Brian Sadler intends to find out. Hundreds of years ago the Maya proliferated throughout Mexico and Central America, evolving from farmers and warriors to master architects and stonemasons in an inconceivably short span of time. Their massive multi-story temples are built of stone blocks - some weighing more than a hundred tons and sitting a hundred feet above the ground. These stones fit together so precisely a sheet of paper couldn't slip between them. Yet these Indians apparently built their multi-story temples using nothing but stone hand tools. Who - or what - taught them how? This book offers a theory. When, in one such Mayan ruin, a U.S. President vanishes without a trace from a chamber with only one exit, America's newly appointed President calls on his old friend Brian Sadler to find out the answer. Deep in the jungles of southern Mexico Sadler makes an astonishing discovery - something that might literally be The Strangest Thing . . . ever. This is the third title in the Brian Sadler Archaeological Mystery series. First was the award-winning book The Bethlehem Scroll, followed by A Search for the Lost City of the Mayas. It features stockbroker-turned-antiquities dealer Brian Sadler.

An extensive search and rescue effort will soon be underway. President William Henry Harrison IV hears the news aboard Air Force One as he flies with his wife and children from the Caribbean to Dallas.

For over two thousand years there have been whispered rumors of a vast treasure hidden somewhere in Israel. Using the prophecies of Isaiah as their basis, many believe there is a cavern where a thousand golden objects – the sacred relics of the Second Temple – lay strewn about in disarray where they were hurriedly tossed the night the Romans burned Jerusalem. Television personality and antiquities dealer Brian Sadler and his wife arrive in Jerusalem and find danger and uncertainty everywhere they go. In a controversial move, the U.S. president has moved the American embassy to West Jerusalem, inciting riots and anger from the Palestinians. Brian’s colleague, a Syrian who owns a shop in the Old City, offers to show him a cache of wondrous objects, but everything isn’t as it appears. Brian questions if the treasure exists and in a dank underground room, he learns that danger and deceit must be overcome before he can learn the answer.

The Cave of the Iron Door is a legendary depository for vast treasure—outlaw loot or Spanish gold, perhaps—that several people claim to have seen over the past hundred and fifty years. On certain days when the sun’s rays hit a remote canyon wall for a few seconds at sunset, the glimmering reflection of an iron door can be seen high in the cliffs. Brian and Harry venture into the rugged Wichita Mountains to learn the truth behind the legend, but discovering what lies within the cramped, winding passages is much different and far more dangerous than either could have dreamed possible. Brian’s wife Nicole Farber is thrust into a role she never imagined and faces an extortionist who threatens to reveal a dark secret from her past. What he wants is the same thing her husband seeks, and he will go to any length to stop Brian and take everything for himself. When an earthquake closes the only way out for Brian and Harry, a strange man who calls himself the Protector offers to help, but is he on their side or that of their adversary? Facing death in a cave, they make a decision that could cost them everything…or allow them to prove the legend real.
