Posted June 8, 2010

Thriller Arcane

The possible remains of Jesus Christ turn up in a secret crypt below Jerusalem's Temple Mount in Michael Byrnes, The Sacred Bones. When American geneticist Charlotte Hennesey examined what she believed were the remains of Jesus, the Vatican buried her discovery. But the DNA Charlotte extracted from the sacred bones and injected into her own body has eliminated every trace of the cancer that was killing her. Now wheels have been set in motion that will have catastrophic consequences for the Christian, Islamic, and Jewish faiths, and possibly even all of mankind. A two-thousand-year-old destiny is about to be fulfilled. Which results in the kidnapping of Charlotte and possible murder of her colleague Father Patrick Donovan.

Israeli archaeologist Amit Mizrachi had believed he has uncovered the find of the century, an ancient relic with odd markings. He requests the help from noted Egyptologist Julie LeRoux. Once they arrive at the excavation site, they find themselves being hunted. Together they begin to unravel an ancient mystery centered around the world's most powerful relic. As a plot is set to rip the Holy Land apart, the race begins to stop the armies gathering to meet on the hills of Meggido. Which can mean only one thing.... Armageddon!

SUMMARY

The bones were just the beginning . . .

When American geneticist Charlotte Hennesey examined what she believed were the remains of Jesus, the Vatican buried her discovery. But the DNA Charlotte extracted from the sacred bones and injected into her own body has eliminated every trace of the cancer that was devouring her from within. And it has given her the power to perform medical miracles. Now wheels have been set in motion that will have cataclysmic consequences for the volatile Middle East and all humankind.

A two-thousand-year-old destiny is about to be fulfilled—resulting in the brazen kidnapping of Charlotte Hennesey, and ensnaring Israeli archaeologist Amit Mizrachi and noted Egyptologist Julie LeRoux in an ancient mystery centered around the world's most powerful relic. As zealots plot to rip the Holy Land asunder, the race begins to avert the unthinkable—for the armies gathering to meet on the hills of Meggido can mean only one thing: Armageddon!
