Official synopsis Publisher
From Jerusalem to Rennes-le-Château, France, and from Rome to Buenos Aires, Father Michael Dominic and his friends-including Hana Sinclair, a French journalist, and two valiant Swiss Guards-take on a new adventure as they discover clues in old Nazi diaries that lead them to the most sacred artifact imaginable: the legendary Veil of Veronica, the cloth on which Christ cleansed his face on the road to his crucifixion, and which imparted his holy visage, showing what many believe to be the face of the Son of God.The sacred artifact has been secretly locked away for 75 years in the famed Wewelsburg Castle, where SS Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler held occult ceremonies and led a mysterious organization known as the Ahnenerbe, whose mission it was to produce a line of pure Aryan children.Michael and Hana must track down clues in the form of three fragments of a bizarre puzzle in order to find the veil.Thought to have been disbanded after the war, the Ahnenerbe has quietly ressurected its mission in a discreet alpine village in southern Argentina-only now they want to use the blood of Christ himself to ensure their offspring possess the true DNA of an Aryan fighter, as they believed Christ himself was.Mossad, Interpol, and elite Israeli Shayetet 13 forces come into play to bring down the long-hunted Nazi in charge of it all, one of the few remaining prizes on Israel’s most-wanted list.
