Casper Laing, the young, fiery and brilliant Professor of Semitic Languages, is asked to decipher an ancient parchment found in Israel. Piecing together its mysterious fragments, his translation soon reveals directions to a shrouded location. Believed to be the secret hiding place of the True Menorah, an ancient and priceless Jewish candelabrum, the Jordanians and Israelis begin a frantic race to claim the prize. Surrounded by violent and treacherous rivals, Casper is enjoined on a deadly adventure deep into the burning Negev desert. A Long Way to Shiloh (1966), Lionel Davidson's third novel, was a Book Society Choice and won the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award as well as the Crime Critics' Award for Best Thriller of the Year. Published in the USA as The Menorah Men, it was a no. 1 bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic. It further cemented his reputation as one of the pre-eminent genre writers of his generation, and was described by the Guardian as 'first-rate' and by the New York Times as 'a supple delight in which learning, wit and style are beautifully integrated.'

Two Titles, One Good Story, November 20, 2007 By Jimla, State College PA "A Long Way to Shiloh, is the British publication of Lionel Davidson's book, The Menorah Men, the latter published in the USA. By either title it is the story of a search for the Menorah, lost when the Roman Emperor, Titus, destroyed the great Temple, the golden lamp presumed to have been carried off to Rome at the time. A scroll comes to light suggesting the Romans carried off a fake of the symbol, and the true Menorah remains hidden. Dr. Caspar Laing, the well known British archaeologist, is enlisted to work with the scroll and with Israeli co-investigators, the objective, to decode the scroll and use it ultimately to find the lost relic. Some byplay with one of the Israelis, female, embellishes the story. Obstacles must be overcome, both with the lady and the search. The overcoming provides a fine adventure in the admirable Davidson style."
