When a missing ancient manuscript is discovered in Rome, Lang Reilly
sets out on a dangerous quest to London, Prague, and Rome to find those
who would rather kill him than have him reveal its frightening
contents.
In the secret archives of the Vatican, an ancient Tibetan document has
remained hidden to everyone but the highest authorities in the Catholic
Church. Those authorities had long ago disposed of the Cathars, the
religious sect who'd once attempted to spread the document's heresies of
reincarnation. Centuries later, a young boy's bizarre flashbacks as an
Auschwitz prisoner threaten to prove the document's theory of
reincarnation, shattering the faith of millions around the world.
The Church will go to any lengths to protect the scrolls' contents and
stop the boy, Wynn-Three, from spreading its heresies. But someone else
has beaten them to it with an agenda of their own: the boy's flashbacks
may help reveal a long-lost treasure, stashed by the Nazis for
safekeeping. Kidnapping Wynn-Three, these criminals take him to the
snowy slopes of Germany and Austria in hopes he will lead them to the
loot. And ex-CIA agent Lang Reilly may be the only one who can track
down his young neighbor, Wynn-Three.
With criminals hot on his trail, Reilly races across Europe to rescue
the boy. But if he can't pull the missing pieces together and uncover
the missing document, Wynn-Three--and the Church's reputation--may both
be lost to history.
A fast-paced, intriguing thriller, The Cathar Secret enraptures from
the controversial beginning until the shocking conclusion.
