At the crossroads of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish faiths, a
priceless artifact is stolen from a vault hidden beneath
Jerusalem's Temple Mount. With high stakes on sacred ground, time
is running out . . . The violent theft leaves thirteen Israeli
soldiers and policemen dead, the Palestinians up in arms over the
desecration of sacred grounds, and the tension between the two
groups dangerously high. Jerusalem is a stick of dynamite and the
fuse has been lit . . .Meanwhile, in Vatican city, American
scientist Charlotte Hennesey and Italian anthropologist Giovanni
Bersei have been secretly summoned to analyse a mysterious
artefact: the bones of a two-thousand-year-old unidentified,
crucified man. Charlotte starts to wonder - could these be the
bones of Jesus Christ? With the malevolent eye of Vatican security
expert Salvatore Conte watching her every move, Charlotte must work
against the clock. She knows that if the mortal remains of Christ
are indeed in the burial box, there is a question to face: will the
Vatican allow this information - and Charlotte - to see the light
of day . . . Fast-paced and intelligent, blending historical fact
with persuasive fiction, The Sacred Bones is an addictively
compelling thriller, perfect for fans of Dan Brown. Following a
conspiracy stretching back to the days of the Templar Knights to
the shifting alliances of contemporary Middle Eastern politics, The
Sacred Bones calls into question many of modern religion's most
deeply-held beliefs.
