The astonishing true story of two World War I prisoners who pulled off one of the most ingenious escapes of all time.
"A wonder, a marvel, a feat of invention and dogged persistence, and most of all, a testament to the power of the human capacity to believe."-Liza Mundy, author of Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II
Imprisoned in a remote Turkish POW camp during World War I, having survived a two-month forced march and a terrifying shootout in the desert, two British officers, Harry Jones and Cedric Hill, join forces to bamboozle their iron-fisted captors. To stave off despair and boredom, Jones takes a handmade Ouija board and fakes elaborate séances for his fellow prisoners. Word gets around, and one day an Ottoman official approaches Jones with a query: Could Jones contact the spirit world to find a vast treasure rumored to be buried nearby?...
