Lesa’s Book Critiques has a pre-release review of The Inquisitor’s Key by Jefferson Bass:
The true story behind the bones, based on 14th Century Avignon, is fascinating. But, Bass seemed to throw every mysterious element of Church history into this book – the Knights Templar, the Shroud of Turin, the Inquisition, and the bones of Jesus. It might just be a little much.
We have mentioned this book before. It will be available in hardcover, large print, Kindle and audio on May 8th.
The Shroud of Turin features rather prominently in this novel, and anyone interested in testing the Shroud with modern forensic techniques should read this one. I did some snooping around and found that the author’s giving away a bunch of copies on his blog which is right here: http://jonjeffersonauthor.blogspot.com/2012/05/book-giveaway-inquisitors-key.html
