    • 2024

      Seit über zwei Jahrtausenden ist die Auferstehung Christi das Fundament des christlichen Glaubens. Doch was geschieht, wenn der Vatikan erpresst wird, ein erstes Jahrhundert altes Manuskript zu unterdrücken, das die Auferstehung als Legende entlarvt? Michael Dominic, ein junger Jesuitenpater und Experte für alte Schriften, wird Archivar des geheimen Kirchenarchivs im Vatikan. Hana Sinclair, eine Reporterin aus Paris und Tochter eines wohlhabenden Bankiers, recherchiert über jüdisches Gold, das während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von den Nazis gestohlen und in der Vatikanbank gelagert wurde. Als Dominic einen Papyrus entdeckt, verfasst von Maria Magdalena, der die Grundlagen des Christentums bedroht, setzen er und Hana alles daran, das Manuskript vor finsteren Mächten zu schützen. Diese Mächte umfassen die gefürchtete faschistische Ustascha-Bewegung, Interpol und mysteriöse Figuren im Vatikan. Basierend auf historischen Fakten, einschließlich der faszinierenden Geschichte von Bérenger Saunière, dem mysteriösen Abbé aus Rennes-le-Château, und den Katharern, den legendären Hütern des Heiligen Grals, führt die Erzählung den Leser durch die geheimnisvollen Institutionen und sensiblen Manuskripte in den unterirdischen Archiven der Kirche.

      A forbidden secret . . . The Church’s fate in the balance . . . Will a pair of amateur sleuths expose a truth that could upend the Christian world? Jesus’ resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith. But when a clue surfaces that hints at an alternate account, the ramifications stand to change Christianity forever. Jesuit priest Michael Dominic’s assignment to the Vatican’s legendary Secret Archives results in his discovery of a hidden papyrus: the unpublished writings of Mary Magdalene — a lost record buried in Rome’s deepest recesses. The forgotten relic’s heretical revelation threatens the Vatican’s very legitimacy, and pits Michael against ruthless and powerful enemies. Desperate, he reaches out to Hana Sinclair, an investigative reporter with a record of tackling contentious subjects. Together they defy the Church elite, and embark on a search through the shadows of history to unearth the truth. As the pressure builds to silence the pair, will the Vatican resort to the unthinkable in order to safeguard its wealth and power? Based on historical facts, this international thriller takes readers on a white-knuckle race through the holy sites of Europe.
