When journalist Ross Hunter opens his door, he didn't expect to find an older man who insisted he had to talk to him. When he invited him in, he definitely didn't expect the man to tell him that he had the key to absolute proof that God existed and that he needed Ross to help him publicize the news.
Ross is leery but after talking to others and researching the man's background, he agrees to at least check out the first clue the man presents him. He does so and finds the coordinates for an amazing treasure, a cup buried in a hidden chamber on a religious site that could be the actual Holy Grail. Soon the chase takes Ross around the world to other countries chasing more artifacts and trying to find out the truth.
But there are those who don't want him to succeed. Representatives of many of the world's oldest established religions want to either buy the proof or find a way to suppress it. Businesses chime in, hoping to make a fortune off Christians who will buy anything associated with their Savior. There are break-ins and frightening messages and soon, several murders as those against the possibility pull out all the stops to keep Ross from finding the truth. Can he push through to the truth?
Peter James is known for his mysteries starring Detective Roy Grace. This is a different theme for him and the reader is hurtled around the world as Ross attempts to solve the mystery and decipher the way his own life will work out going forward. Readers may feel that the book is a bit repetitive as it seems to take Ross quite a bit of time to figure out that he is in danger and decide what to do but the ending is thought provoking. This book is recommended for readers of thrillers with a religious or historical background.
