37AD - Salvation buried. 2007AD - Chaos unearthed.

The violent theft of an ossuary - an ancient vessel for human remains - from beneath the holy Temple Mount begins an epic quest that reaches right back to the first century. The origin of the bones remains undetermined, but there are forces gathering who believe they may belong to Jesus Christ himself...

Enter Charlotte Hennesey, a beautiful, troubled scientist who has been summoned, along with Italian anthropologist Giovanni Bersei, to examine the contents of a newly discovered archaeological treasure. As she draws nearer to the terrifying truth, she begins to understand that her role puts her in graver danger than she first thought...

Meanwhile, Palestine is aflame with the news the sacred monument has been desecrated. Thirteen Israeli soldiers have been murdered defending it and the tensions between the nations are about to erupt. With a vicious professional killer on the loose and an entire civil war about to be waged, it is up to a handful of characters from across the globe to discover exactly what happened to the ossuary - and what it's theft means for the world.

A riveting, complex and utterly chaotic adventure-thriller debut, 'The Sacred Bones' is not only a gripping read but an intelligent parable too - about the nature of religion in the modern world, the sacrifices people make to protect it and the extreme lengths individuals will go to in order to discover the truth.
