Summary:

"An earthquake in Masada, Israel, kills hundreds and reveals a tomb buried in the heart of the mountain. A trio of investigators-- Sergeant Jordan Stone, a military forensic expert ; Father Rhun Korza, a Vatican priest ; and Dr. Erin Granger, a brilliant but disillusioned archaeologist-- are sent to explore the macabre discovery, a subterranean temple holding the crucified body of a mummified girl. But a brutal attack at the site sets the three on the run, thrusting them into a race to recover what was once preserved in the tomb's sarcophagus: a book rumored to have been written by Christ's own hand, a tome that is said to hold the secrets to His divinity. But the enemy who hounds them is like not other, a force of ancient evil directed by a leader of impossible ambitions and incalculable cunning"--Publisher's web site.

Summary

Sergeant Jordan Stone, Father Rhun Korza, and Dr. Erin Granger, are sent to explore a macabre discovery in Israel, a subterranean temple holding the crucified body of a mummified girl. But a brutal attack at the site thrusts them into a race to recover what was once preserved in the tomb's sarcophagus: a book rumored to have been written by Christ's own hand, a tome that is said to hold the secrets to His divinity. The enemy who hounds them is like no other, a force of ancient evil directed by a leader of impossible ambitions and incalculable cunning. From crumbling tombs to splendorous churches, Erin and her two companions must confront a past that traces back thousands of years, to a time when ungodly beasts hunted the dark spaces of the world, to a moment in history when Christ made a miraculous offer, a pact of salvation for those who were damned for eternity. In the end, be warned: some books should never be found, never opened-until now.

Summary

No one has a greater interest in protecting the Gospel's secrets than the mysterious Sect of the Sanguines. But the key to finding the Blood Gospel lies in the hands of a non-believer. Erin Granger has no idea that her life in mortal danger, and she must be found before a diabolical enemy seeking to possesses the Blood Gospel's power can rend the world from its moorings.
