Publisher's NoteA suspenseful account of the high-stakes world of biblical antiques forgery places an emphasis on the James Ossuary and the struggle between the faithful and the scientific community, in a report that also discusses the scholars, evangelicals, and millionaire collectors who contribute to its illicit practices. 30,000 first printing.
A veteran journalist based in New York, Burleigh takes the 2002 James Ossuary fraud as a case study to illuminate the trafficking of fake relics and texts in the Middle East and across to New York. Her account reads like a novel. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
