An old World War II diary filled with cryptic clues launches two friends on an adventure around the world… but their path is fraught with danger and deception… and the treasure they seek can change everything for good-or evil.
Father Michael Dominic and his journalist friend Hana Sinclair are off to follow a tantalizing lead: a Nazi journal revealing a holy relic’s hiding place. The pair believes the book could lead them to a sacred cloth Christ used to cleanse his face, which according to legend now bears his image – a living record of the Son of God’s true appearance.
The diary propels them on a whirlwind adventure from Jerusalem, to Rome, to Buenos Aires. But as they unravel an ancient mystery, they run afoul of a nefarious sect determined to use the Magdalene veil for its own ends. Can Michael and Hana outsmart their ruthless adversaries and bring the artifact home to the Church, or will the revival of Aryan ambition destroy the long-lost relic of Christ?

Summary
From: Carol Pennington
Book Title: The Magdalene Veil
Book Author: Gary McAvoy
What do you like about this book:
Gary McAvoy does it again! His latest book, The Magdalene Veil, will leave you on the edge of your seat from the first chapter to the last.
Father Michael Dominic and Hana Sinclair team up once again to locate a Holy Relic. The Relic is thought to be hidden somewhere in Wewelsberg Castle in Buren Germany. To discover its location, they will first need to locate clues that were given by Heinrich Himmler to three of his trusted comrades and then solve the riddled contained within the clues.
If Indiana Jones and The Da Vinci Code had a baby, it would be this book. It is an amazingly good read. It is action packed from beginning to end. Additionally, some of my favorite characters from his previous works were in this book as well. I especially loved the segment he added at the end of the book detailing what parts of the book were actually historical fact.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Suspense. This book is relatively clean. There are a couple of handfuls of curse words and some violence that is not overly graphic contained in the story, but there are no sex scenes.
