Zij was een jonge, beeldschone, Franse biologe, hij was toen wereldkampioen No Limits Freediving - een extreme sport waarbij zonder perslucht diepterecords gebroken worden. Ze kregen een gepassioneerde relatie. Ook Audrey werd freediver, en ze brak al snel het wereldrecord voor vrouwen (115 meter).

Een uniek boek met prachtige beelden, over gedreven mensen en extreme diepten van liefde en obsessie.
This gripping thriller—and profoundly spiritual journey—reveals the greatest story never told. A GRIPPING THRILLER AND A PROFOUND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THAT REVEALS THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD! Two thousand years ago, in the French Pyrenees, Mary Magdalene hid a gospel that contained her own version of the events and characters of the New Testament. Protected by supernatural forces, these sacred scrolls could be uncovered only by a special seeker, one who fulfills the ancient prophecy of l'attendue -- The Expected One. When journalist Maureen Paschal begins the research for a new book, she has no idea that she is stepping into an ancient mystery so secret, so revolutionary, that thousands of people have killed and died for it. As the eerie prophecy of The Expected One casts a shadow over her life and work, a long-buried family secret comes to light. Ultimately she, and the reader, come face-to-face with Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Judas, and Salome in the pages of a deeply moving new gospel, the life of Jesus as told by Mary Magdalene.
