Archaeologists in Jerusalem make a revolutionary discovery in this
"beautifully written" thriller from a
#1
New York Times-bestselling author
(Ruth Rendell).
John Lambert, Catholic priest and professor of biblical archaeology, returns to London from an archaeological dig in Israel-and not long after, he's found dead, hanged in his room. It's only the first shocking discovery for his assistant, Andrew Nash, a young friar. The second is the reason for the spiritual disillusionment that led his mentor to such a desperate act: irrefutable evidence of the skeletal remains of Jesus Christ excavated under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City.
The find could shake the core doctrine of the Catholic Church and destroy the very foundation of the Christian faith. But it also poses a grave threat to Nash and his associate, Israeli archaeologist Michael Dagan-because they're not the only ones scrambling to piece together the clues to this ancient mystery.
In their shadow are the KGB, the Israeli Secret Service, and an ambitious American cardinal. But are they collaborators in a diabolical hoax or coconspirators in a cover-up of the most damning discovery in history? The answer "chills the blood and makes the hair stand on end ... confirming Read as one of our strongest novelists" (
The Independent).
"It's hard to imagine a more provocative thesis," said the
New York Times of this forerunner to the biblical conspiracy thrillers of Dan Brown and Kate Mosse.
On the Third Day is "an enthralling read-touch[ing] upon a number of current theological controversies" (
Kirkus Reviews).
