Synopsis
A fragment of parchment, purported to be a message from Mary the mother of Jesus, is unearthed at an archaeological dig in Turkey. Is it an elaborate hoax? Or is it authentic? Will it confirm or contradict widely held beliefs regarding the mother of our Lord? Either way, the fallout is guaranteed to be cataclysmic.But who will gain ultimate control of the ancient document? The obscure archaeologist who discovered it craves the notoriety it will bring. The excavation's financier presses his own claim -- and will stop at nothing to possess it. A wealthy American pursues it for his own purposes. Even the U.S. State Department gets involved. And in Rome, as the pope lies helpless from a stroke, factions inside the Vatican vie for ascendancy -- and control of the crucial parchment and its mind-boggling implications for good or for evil.Thrust into a life-or-death struggle with the rich, the powerful, the ruthless, and the devout, Michael del Rio and Valerie Miller must uncover the scroll's secrets even as they struggle with issues of personal faith that neither before has faced.
