The Great Jerusalem Poker Game, as it’s eventually known, continues for the next twelve years—the players unwilling to leave a competition whose prize is control of Jerusalem. The players are as exotic as the Cairo Martyr, a one-time African slave, now the Middle East’s chief supplier of aphrodisiac mummy dust; Joe O’Sullivan Beare, an Irish tradesman with a specialty in sacred phallic amulets; and Munk Szondi, an Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army colonel turned dedicated Zionist.But before the final hand is played to determine the destiny of the Holy City, a dangerous new player enters the Nubar Wallenstein, an Albanian alchemist determined to achieve immortality, and heir to the world’s largest oil syndicate. He finances a vast network of spies dedicated to destroying the players, and his aim is to win complete power over Jerusalem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eM-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasberts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53767096467768,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0291\/9192\/9890\/files\/a454_eff9249f-7978-4c8e-8f5f-1fd60e07e589.jpg?v=1794254281","url":"https:\/\/hasberts.com\/products\/jerusalem-poker","provider":"Hasberts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
