The discovery of a miraculously preserved Vellum codex, hidden in the heart of a second-century man-made concrete block in central Italy, prompts an investigation by four archaeologists and linguists that may well change all that has ever been written concerning the most ostentatiously ignored, yet maliciously maligned woman in Biblical history. While attempting to translate the ancient Etruscan text, the discovers find themselves the focus of ruthless Vatican fundamentalists who fear that if successfully translated, the codex could have a devastating effect on established church beliefs. Will there be time to pry the truth from the codex and prevent its confiscation by the Vatican and Italian secret police, who would see it buried forever in the archival vaults of St. Peter's Basilica. A fascinating and compelling adventure in historical fiction that may well introduce readers to their own questions concerning Biblical history and never before considered possibilities concerning the mysterious and fascinating Mariamni of Magdala.
