Publisher's Synopsis
It's the discovery that will make Miranda Lovelady's career...if she can prove it. The secret she's unearthed is enough to convince Dr Bill Brockton to abandon the Body Farm and fly to Avignon. The medieval city is picturesque, but deadly. When their colleague is found crucified in a ruined chapel, Brockton and Miranda become entangled in a terrifying conspiracy. Unearthing the bones of Jesus of Nazareth would be the find of the millennium. And when the secret leaks, there will be people watching: the Vatican, the police, and a murderous fanatic, who plans to use the bones to trigger the Apocalypse.
