The sequel to the international bestseller The Sacred Bones. Can geneticist Charlotte Hennesy prevent the coming of Armageddon? When American geneticist Charlotte Hennesy examined what she believed were the bones of Jesus Christ, it was a discovery that could rock the very foundations of Christianity. But the Vatican tried to make sure that word of her discovery would never see the light of day. Now the bones have vanished. And Charlotte has made another discovery. The DNA extracted from the bones contain miraculous powers. Slowly dying from bone cancer, Charlotte uses herself as a human guinea pig, and is injected with this miracle DNA. The cancer doesn t just go into remission, it vanishes completely. It has the ability to repair damaged genes, to heal the sick, to cure incurable diseases. And much to her surprise, Charlotte discovers that now she possesses these very powers. But someone wants those bones and Charlotte. Rabbi Aaron Cohen a descendent of the biblical Aaron and the kohanim, or high priests of the long-destroyed Temple in Jerusalem has been planning for this moment all his life. Rather than mourn the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 AD, he and his followers foresee a time when Jerusalem s Temple Mount is cleared of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and replaced with the Third Temple. For Cohen, that time is now. Cohen s family has been the guardian of the most powerful item in any religion the Ark of the Covenant, which hasn t been seen since it disappeared over 2,000 years ago, and he is ready to retrieve the Ark from its hiding place and bring it back to Jerusalem to unleash its awesome power. He has only one problem he cannot touch the Ark because his bloodline isn t pure. Charlotte her blood now purified by DNA from Jesus, is kidnapped and brought to Israel in order to open the Ark. Cohen s dangerous plan doesn t go unnoticed, however. When Israeli archaeologist Amit Mizrachi digging in the Qumran cave area where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947 uncovers a mysterious Egyptian heiroglyph in a hidden and previously undiscovered room, he brings in noted Egyptologist Julie LeRoux to interpret it for him. Their romantically charged sparring leads them on a quest to unravel the mystery, and when the bullets start to fly, they know they are on to something huge. As Cohen puts his plan into action, the Muslim keepers of the mosques on Temple Mount are outraged. Will this be the act that leads to vast armies meeting on the hills of Meggido Armageddon?
