For centuries, historians have speculated that the Queen of Sheba is nothing more than a seductive legend; but when undercover agent Omar Zagouri finds a tomb in a tunnel beneath Jerusalem, he unearths cryptic clues that may lead to the queen’s final resting place.
This discovery, if authentic, could throw into question the governmental claim to the Holy Land–and prove the Bible false. Wealthy collectors, ruthless archaeologists, and officials from Egypt, Ethiopia, Israel, and Yemen scramble to find and lay claim to the secret site.
Dr. Richard Lyon of Brown University, the world’s leading expert on the queen, is found murdered in his office, setting off a chain of deadly events. Omar desperately works to piece together the puzzle to locate the queen’s burial ground, fearing another assassination will take place. He teams up with one of Lyon’s protégées as well as with his ex-girlfriend, agent Mia Golding, in order to unravel the truth about the queen, expose a murderer, and reveal a timeless story of love, revenge, and sacrifice.

Summary
Reviewer Name: JoMama Finding Sheba by H. B. Moore is a fun adventure! It is told from multiple points of view, which was a little difficult at times for me, but perhaps that is more attributed to my lack of sleep with a newborn. The novel is about a few groups of people who are searching for the Queen of Sheba's tomb, as well as flashbacks in time to the Queen's story. I think I loved her story most of all and found myself reading through the modern day stuff, though interesting, to get back to the Queen. I loved the author's descriptions of the places in the novel. I've never been to Egypt or Oman or any of the other countries, but the imagery was there. Ms. Moore also did a great job creating good characters. Omar was a fantastic character. I didn't feel as drawn to Jade or Lucas as I was to Omar and Mia in the beginning, but by the end I did. I would have given the book more stars but I didn't feel compelled to read as much as I should have for a higher rating. Again, it could have more to do with my timing in reading more than anything else. Overall, I like her writing style and I intend to read more by this author. I received a free copy of this book though NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
