Synopsis

When an American geneticist is miraculously healed from cancer by bones she believes to be the remains of Jesus, an Israeli archaeologist and a noted Egyptologist team up to outmaneuver the Vatican, who would prevent the geneticist's findings from becoming public, and a dangerous adversary who would use the bones to trigger Armageddon. By the author of The Sacred Bones.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

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!
