Thriller | Suspense
A fire at the Cathedral of Turin and the discovery of a
strangely mutilated body attract the attention of Italy’s
special Art Crimes Department. For the fire is only the
latest in a troubling series of arsons and break-ins at
the cathedral, which houses what millions believe to be
the authentic burial shroud of Jesus Christ.
A cop
as well as an art historian, department chief Marco Valoni
leads a crack team of investigators in a race to solve a
crime he’s certain is about to shock the world. Someone is
planning to steal the Holy Shroud, and Valoni’s only
suspect—a mystery man who bears the same scars as the
unidentified corpse—is currently serving out a sentence in
a Turin prison.
Following a trail that stretches
from the humble meeting places of the earliest Christian
communities to the highest councils of the Vatican and the
boardrooms that rule the world, Valoni and his associates
will find themselves in the cross fire of an ancient
conflict forged by mortal sacrifice, assassination, and
secret societies with ties to the shadowy legend of the
Knights Templars.
Spanning centuries and
continents, from the storm-rent skies over Calvary,
through the glories of Byzantium and the intrigue and
treachery of the Crusades, to the modern-day citadels of
Istanbul, New York, London, Paris, and Rome, The
Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud is a provocative page-
turner of the highest order—one that will challenge you to
believe.
