The Witch of Babylon by D.J. McIntosh
THE WITCH OF BABYLON features John Madison, a New York art dealer caught up in the aftermath of the looting of the Baghdad Museum. It includes an elaborate puzzle that must be solved in order to locate a missing biblical antiquity and a spectacular lost treasure, as well as alchemy, murder, and the Mesopotamian cult of Ishtar. Alternating between war-torn Baghdad and New York, with forays into ancient Mesopotamian culture, The Witch of Babylon takes readers deep inside the world of Assyriology and its little-known but profound significance for the modern world.

Antiquities in Peril
This exquisite bas-relief, “Lioness Killing a Nubian in a Meadow of Lotus and Papyrus” is a very skilfully rendered, natural image made of wood overlaid with ivory and gold. It was looted from the Iraq National Museum and is still missing. › The Looting of Baghdad
