I know I said I was done with religious historical mystery suspense thrillers, but apparently not. This was a good one! A secret crypt is found deep beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It contains ten ossuaries--stone boxes that hold a dead person's bones. One of these ossuaries is elaborately decorated and holds the bones of an unidentified crucified man. Our crack geneticist makes a series of unexpected discoveries that lead her to wonder: could these be the bones of Jesus Christ??
(Although the bones depicted on the cover of the book are clearly not the bones of Jesus Christ. The nails are going through the palms--executioners actually put the nails through the wrists, because the hands are too soft to hold the body's weight up on a cross. Everybody knows that!)
If you liked The Da Vinci Code, I recommend this book. If you like CSI, you might also like this book!
