Publisher Description
A nineteenth century French priest discovers something in his mountain village at the foot of the Pyrenees which enable him to amass and spend a fortune of millions of pounds. The tale seems to begin with buried treasure and then turns into an unprecedented historical detective story, a modern Grail quest leading back through cryptically coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar, the Cathar heretics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a dynasty of obscure French kings deposed more than 1,300 years ago. The authors' conclusions are persuasive. At the core is not material riches but a secret, a secret of explosive and controversial proportions, which radiates out from the little Pyrenees village to all the way to contemporary politics and the entire edifice of the Christian faith. It involves nothing less than the Holy Grail.
Customer Reviews
Amazing
Regardless of the recent tabloids this is an excellant book an well worth the purchase, its far superior than its very close competition...
Good fiction
Part 5 was probably 98 % fiction and 2 % truth .... for example the Priory de Sion was owned up as a hoax many years ago.
but the book on whole was very interesting and "hard to put down".
I am already off to buy the next book ... on medieval history - Cathars and Knights Templars!
Holy blood holy Grail
