Meer over het boek

When an Orthodox Jewish man is found shot dead in Montreal, Temperance Brennan is called to investigate the body and the unusual damage it bears. A stranger unexpectedly hands her a photograph of a skeleton, claiming it holds the key to the victim's death. Tempe soon finds herself embroiled in an international mystery that could alter two millennia of religious history. As she delves deeper, Tempe learns the photograph depicts bones uncovered during an archaeological dig. The victim, she discovers, ran an import business that may have been a front for trading black market antiquities. Teaming up with Detective Andrew Ryan and biblical archaeologist Jake Drum, Tempe travels to Israel to uncover the origins of the skeleton and the ancient crypt where it was found. Their investigation leads to shocking revelations that challenge established beliefs about Christ's death and thrust them into a heated controversy. Could one of the tombs be Christ's final resting place? Are the bones in the ossuary truly those of James, Jesus's brother, as claimed? Or is it all an elaborate hoax? Using her forensic expertise, Tempe confronts the most contentious case of her career, with escalating stakes and dangers. Despite Ryan's charm and appeal, the threats surrounding Tempe intensify in this perilous environment.
