Shroud
Shroud
By Gary Hibberd
What begins in the past has repercussions right through to the present day. The death of a young priest in a medieval church fire leads inexorably to death in a technology lab engaged on highly-secret and dangerous work.
When DNA is extracted from the Turin shroud, experts in cloning technology see this as the chance of a lifetime. A baby boy is born and given the name of Mark. He is passed to surrogate parents. By the age of eleven years, Mark is displaying skills beyond his years – speaking Aramaic and reading Hebrew. The scientists who developed him are delighted. Then Mark begins to have visions of a past life.
Now the scientists themselves are in danger, as, one by one, they are found murdered – and murdered in an horrific manner.
The police discover that one of the objects found at the scene of a murder is a page from the Book of Revelations, which refers to the End days, where seven bowls are poured over the earth to purge it of sin.
A priest from the Vatican, Father Alessandro, is involved in some way. But in what way? Is he an angel or a devil? What dark secrets does he possess? And will Mark, the marvellous boy, survive?
