  • The
  • Times.Miranda
  • Lovelady,
  • Dr
  • Bill
  • Brockton's
  • protégé,
  • is
  • spending
  • the
  • summer
  • helping
  • excavate
  • a
  • newly
  • discovered
  • chamber
  • beneath
  • the
  • spectacular
  • Palace
  • of
  • the
  • Popes
  • in
  • Avignon,
  • France.
  • There
  • she
  • discovers
  • a
  • stone
  • chest
  • inscribed
  • with
  • a
  • stunning
  • claim:
  • inside
  • lie
  • the
  • bones
  • of
  • none
  • other
  • than
  • Jesus
  • of
  • Nazareth.
  • Faced
  • with
  • the
  • case
  • of
  • the
  • millennium,
  • Miranda
  • summons
  • Brockton
  • for
  • help
  • proving
  • or
  • refuting
  • the
  • claim.
  • Both
  • scientists
  • are
  • sceptical
  • -
  • after
  • all,
  • fake
  • relics
  • abounded
  • during
  • the
  • Middle
  • Ages
  • -
  • but
  • the
  • evidence
  • for
  • authenticity
  • soon
  • grows.
  • Brockton
  • and
  • Miranda
  • link
  • the
  • bones
  • to
  • the
  • haunting
  • image
  • on
  • the
  • Shroud
  • of
  • Turin,
  • revered
  • by
  • millions
  • as
  • the
  • burial
  • cloth
  • of
  • Christ
  • and
  • a
  • laboratory
  • test
  • finds
  • that
  • the
  • bones
  • are
  • 2,000
  • years
  • old.
  • The
  • 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
  • .
  • .
