Synopsis

Kemp Hastings a freelance troubleshooter for the Fisher Kings is tasked with authenticating an illuminated manuscript that has strong links to the crucufixion and may have been penned by Mary Magdalene herself. Hastings teams up with Dr Darlene Gammay a biblical studies teacher and embark on an adventure that results in an event that rocks the Papacy. In her efforts to research the parchment Darlene inadvertantly makes contact with the Sanctos Epistula (Letters of the Saints) and is burdened with a tattoo across her back and left shoulder that may reflect the true likeness of the Holiest of Mothers. The tattoo reflects the work of Gabriel Dante Rosetti's famous pre- raphaelite work from the late 18th century indicating that the artist may have had access to a more secret society. On discovering the tattoo Hastings finds that the manuscript that was hidden in his desk has returned to a simple blank parchment page of two thousand years ago In the interim period - a known Hellfire Corss Sword has been mysteriously removed from the secure archives of the vatican and the Pope has concerns over the safety of his flock.

About this title

About the Author:

Scottish author, Andrew David Doyle a generic Dundonian started his working life in the Robb Caledon shipyard at the tender age of 16, in 1977, entering the ship building industry as a new apprentice plater. He spent 12 months learning the trade and departed in 1978 to join the ranks of the British Army, where he spent a further 14 years of his career, where 'The Lost Monks of Avalon' & The Silent Apostle were conceived and placed on paper with other work remaining dormant for almost 25 years. After moving into the Offshore environment Andrew, began putting pen to paper to satisfy a hidden passion for eloquent storytelling and turned to digital media to capture his writing art. 25 years on, and Andrew finally releases his first novel to the unsuspecting literal world at large. If one takes time to visit the author's promotional website, it soon becomes clear, even to the untrained eye that, the amount of research and study applied to this fictional work has not been slight, and 'often overwhelming'. admits the author in one of our many discussions.
