Plot
Dr. Jon Bondurant is a forensic anthropologist and atheist. When the Vatican invites him to lead an investigation into the authenticity of the purported burial cloth of Jesus Christ, he agrees. After a contentious debate, the Vatican allows the examination of one of the sacred relics in order to spite the skeptical Bondurant.
While in the Vatican, Bondurant meets Domenika Josef, a devout Catholic and the Vatican’s media specialist assigned to keep an eye on him. She’s privy to something Bondurant is not -- a recently discovered ancient Codex with revelations concerning the Shroud. What she’s not privy to is her own role in a plan by forces bent on stealing DNA tied to the sacred blood-stained Shroud. The resulting attempt to clone Jesus has apocalyptic results and is the subject of Heubusch’s sequel.
