New York Times-bestselling author Robin Cookreturns with another ripped-from-the-headlinesmedical thriller, where DNA science, biotechnology,and religion collide.
It's been more than thirty years since New York City medicalexaminer Jack Stapleton's college graduation and almostas long since he'd been in touch with former classmatesShawn Doherty and Kevin Murray. Once a highly regarded ophthalmologist,Jack's career took a dramatic turn after a tragicaccident that destroyed his family. But that, too, is very much inthe past: Jack has remarried-to longtime colleague and fellowmedical examiner Laurie Montgomery-and is the father ofa young child. But his renegade, activist personality can't rest,and after performing a postmortem on a young college studentwho had recently been treated by a chiropractor, Jack decides toexplore alternative medicine. What makes some people stepoutside the medical establishment to seek care from practitionersof Eastern philosophies and even faith healers?
Jack's classmate Shawn Doherty is now a renowned archeologistand biblical scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,whose taste for good wine and generally deteriorating healthare taking a toll on his career. He has recently obtained permissionfor a final dig beneath Saint Peter's, and despite hislong-standing grudge against the Catholic Church, begins hisresearch-which eventually takes him to Jerusalem and Venice-only to make a startling discovery with ecclesiastical andmedical implications. And when Kevin Murray, now Bishop ofthe Archdiocese of New York, gets wind of Shawn's findings,he's desperate to keep them from the public. Kevin has strongpolitical ambitions within the Church, but his association withShawn threatens to undermine them. Kevin turns to his oldfriend Jack to help protect an explosive secret-one with thepower to change lives forever.

About More Than Words Inc. Massachusetts, United States
More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.
