Deus — Philip Boast

Beneath the stones of London lies a long-buried secret--the body of Jesus Christ. London, 1190. A hideous murder has taken place on the newly built London Bridge. Jack Mason has been slain by his half-brother Nick, whose murderous rage was fueled by the horrors he witnessed as a Templar in the Holy Land. But fratricide is not the only secret tormenting Nick. He has stumbled upon a hidden and devastating discovery, shared only by his covert Order: the earthly body of Jesus Christ, risen once and with the power to rise again. Tortured by his knowledge, Nick buries his secrets deep in London's foundations, but the curse of his sin courses through generations. Only the force that still lies dormant beneath the city can free the heirs to his evil--and reveal to the world a centuries-old truth. 450 pp 4 1/2 x 7
