The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud is the explosive international
bestseller that mixes fact and fiction to tell the riveting story of one
of the world's most controversial relics--the Holy Shroud of Turin--and
the desperate race to save it from those who will stop at nothing to
possess its legendary power....
A fire at the Turin cathedral and the discovery of a mutilated corpse
are the latest in a disturbing series of events surrounding the
mysterious cloth millions believe to be the authentic burial shroud of
Jesus Christ. Those who dare to investigate will be caught in the cross
fire of an ancient conflict forged by mortal sacrifice, assassination,
and secret societies tied to the shadowy Knights Templar.
Spanning centuries and continents, from the storm-rent skies over
Calvary, through the intrigue and treachery of Byzantium and the
Crusades, to the modern-day citadels of Istanbul, New York, London,
Paris, and Rome, The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud races to a
chilling climax in the labyrinths beneath Turin, where astounding truths
will be exposed: about the history of a faith, the passions of man, and
proof of the most powerful miracle of all....
