About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A nineteenth century French priest discovers something in his mountain village at the foot of The Pyrenees which enables him to amass and spend a fortune of millions of pounds. The tale seems to begin with buried treasure and then turns into an unprecedented historical detective story - a modern Grail quest leading back through cryptically coded parchments, secret societies, the Knights Templar, the Cathar heretics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a dynasty of obscure French kings deposed more than 1,300 years ago. The author's conclusions are persuasive: at the core is not material riches but a secret - a secret of explosive and controversial proportions, which radiates out from the little Pyrenees village all the way to contemporary politics and the entire edifice of the Christian faith. It involves nothing less than... the Holy Grail.

"Enough to seriously challenge many traditional Christian beliefs, if not alter them." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"Like Chariots of the Gods?...the plot has all the elements of an international thriller." (Newsweek)

interesting history well read
Pity about the male gender bias particularly at the conclusion. I object to the unnaniunced 15 word minimum review qualification.

A Fun Book if Not Taken Too Seriously
I really enjoyed this book even though it's a bit far fetched. An enjoyable listen and a great performance.

Interesting
Many of the references to Freemasonry, its traditions & activities are factually incorrect &/or misguided.
