I read this fast-paced thriller in one day. Once you begin, hold onto your hat and be prepared to adjust your schedule to grab more reading time.

It's an impressive first novel.

What would happen if the Templars secret hiding place for the bones of Jesus Christ were discovered today in Jerusalem under the Temple Mount? That's the central story which takes twists and turns through the over heated religious atmosphere of today's Jerusalem, the gilded and secretive splendor of the Vatican and a trip or three back to the 12 th century and the ignominious end of the Templar Knights.

Great fun. I will definitely look for his next book, The Sacred Blood.
