When Miranda Lovelady and Dr. Bill Brockton discover what could be the bones of Jesus of Nazareth, their finding triggers a deadly tug-of-war between the anthropologists, the Vatican, and a deadly zealot who hopes to use the bones to bring about the Second Coming--and trigger the end of time.
Honestly I was just a tad disappointed with this entry. The constant shifting in storylines was distracting, and I really couldn't get interested in the medieval parts -- in the end, I just started skipping those. And Dr. Brockton suddenly crushing on Miranda was a little icky to me. Where did that come from?
I guess this book being set in a totally different location took me out of my comfort zone. To fans of the exotic, this won't be a problem. Me, I kinda missed Tennessee. On the bright side, I love art and paintings, which is a thread that ran through this book and fascinated me.
Overall not the strongest entry in the series, but some people may love it just for the subjects it covers. ( )
This is my least favorite of this series primarily due to the format of alternating chapters of events in a medieval past with the present identification of bones in the here in now in France. ( )

Prologue
Knoxville, Tennessee The Present
A mockingbird twittered on a branch of a dogwood as a middle-aged man—his hair going to salt-and-pepper, but his body fit and his movements brisk—approached a chain-link gate at the edge of a wooded hillside.
