About this ebook
A string of murders motivated by the theft of ancient manuscripts...
Galilee, Battle of Hattin, July 1187. A dying Knight Hospitaller confides to a young monk the secret existence of gospels whose content calls into question the traditional image of Christ. Nearly nine centuries later, Lieutenant Martin Delpech investigates a series of assassinations motivated by the theft of ancient manuscripts. He must follow the trail of a fundamentalist psychopath who seems to have risen from the dead, facing down a savage competition between Vatican henchmen, religious extremists, and an ancient messianic sect. Their struggle for supremacy and control of knowledge will be bloody. Nightmarish. And even the police officer will not escape this violence. He will be forced to participate, to save his loved ones.
Meet Lieutenant Delpech in the first volume of a thrilling new investigation, confronting him with the violence of a fundamentalist psychopath, Vatican henchmen, religious extremists, and a messianic sect. Will he manage to escape this nightmarish struggle?
