What if the remains of Jesus Christ were discovered? What would happen to everyone involved in the archaeological discovery? And this premise is what makes for such an enticing read when it comes to Bones by Bob Springett.

And Springett sets up all these scenarios amazingly. A terrific story by a very gifted author.
