What could Marco Polo, the Silk Road and Mongolia possibly have in common with the Holy Land and the sewers of Istanbul? This is what Salina and Boswell are compelled to find out as they travel the world risking their lives as they try to resolve a religious time bomb, a mystery which dates back a full two thousand years.
Fifteen years after the trials and struggles which culminated in their discovery of the tomb of Constantine the Great in Istanbul, Ottavia and Farag are living quietly with their niece in Toronto, teaching and carrying out research work at the city's university.
But their peace is irrevocably shattered by a visit from the enormously rich Simonsons, who offer them the last surviving fragment of the True Cross in exchange for their leading the search for nine ossuaries that disappeared from Bethlehem back in the thirteenth century.
Ottavia and Farag reluctantly accept the offer and embark on a journey which will challenge history as we know it and put their lives and most deeply-held beliefs in danger as they close in on the discovery of the most significant and earth-shattering relic of the Christian faith.
