Publisher Description

THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE HOLY SHROUD is the explosive international bestseller that mixes fact and fiction to tell the riveting story of one of the world’s most controversial relics–the Holy Shroud of Turin–and the desperate race to save it from those who will stop at nothing to possess its legendary power.... A fire at the Cathedral of Turin and the discovery of a strangely mutilated body attract the attention of Italy’s special Art Crimes Department. For the fire is only the latest in a troubling series of arsons and break-ins at the cathedral, which houses what millions believe to be the authentic burial shroud of Jesus Christ. A cop as well as an art historian, department chief Marco Valoni leads a crack team of investigators in a race to solve a crime he’s certain is about to shock the world. Someone is planning to steal the Holy Shroud, and Valoni’s only suspect is currently serving out a sentence in a Turin prison. Following a trail from the earliest Christian communities to the highest councils of the Vatican and the boardrooms that rule the world, Valoni and his associates will find themselves in the cross fire of an ancient conflict.

    " I read this as an Advance Reader's Copy. Not bad, but clearly trying to cash in on Dan Brown's success. "

    " This is another one of those books which takes place in the present, but also goes back in time to give you the history of the Knights Templar, and their relationship tp what we know today as the Shroud of Turin. It involves art historians and a very aggressive woman journalist, trying to trace the history of the relic, plus a group of men without tongues or fingerprints, who have sworn to protect the holy shroud. Ir is interesting, having been translated from Spanish. "

    " It shares some interesting historical facts about Christianity. Apart from that, the book is poorly written, the characters are weak and the storyline is cheap. "

    " Not so good. Not a fast read. Not gripping, not a page-turner. Half-way through and you can predict what's gonna happen. Not recommended for fans of historical thrillers "

    " I just finished this and my it was hard to get through. I found myself skipping ahead alot to hurry it along. I don't know if a lot was lost in the translation (original author is Italian) or what. It was ok., not really as good as some of the other "templar" type books. "

    " The basic plot is far-fetched. The overall theme and feel of the book is clearly meant to ride the wave of popularity for such books that was created by Dan Brown with The DaVinci Code. Yet, it is an enjoyable read nonetheless. "

    " Thought it was something like Da Vinci's Code but didn't catch my interest.Found it rather predictable and i didn't like the ending.In that case I should just reread Da Vinci Code or the Name of the Rose than spend my money and time in this book. "
