The Quest by Nelson DeMille

Another story line that grabbed me by the first paragraph and demanded my attention! This book is about the famed legend of the location of the holy grail. I still love watching all of the History Channels documentaries on this subject, along with the ark of the covenant. So I am sure it is obvious why this book spoke to me.

Do you like these kinds of story lines as much as I do? Here is the description of the book, hope it intrigues you enough to check it out!

Happy Reading!

"A sweeping adventure that's equal parts thriller and love story, Nelson DeMille's newest novel takes the reader from the war torn jungles of Ethiopia to the magical city of Rome.

While the Ethiopian Civil War rages, a Catholic priest languishes in prison. Forty years have passed since he last saw daylight. His crime? Claiming to know the true location of Christ's cup from the Last Supper. Then the miraculous happens - a mortar strikes the prison and he is free! 

Old, frail, and injured, he escapes to the jungle, where he encounters two Western journalists and a beautiful freelance photographer taking refuge from the carnage. As they tend to his wounds, he relates his incredible story. 

Motivated by the sensational tale and their desire to find the location of the holiest of relics, the trio agrees to search for the Grail. 

Thus begins an impossible quest that will pit them against murderous tribes, deadly assassins, fanatical monks, and the passions of their own hearts."
