Dr. Miranda Miller is a world-renowned specialist in the sampling and sequencing of ancient DNA. She is an associate professor at a major university, and is scheduled to embark on a significant expedition in two weeks. Why then would Miranda, by all accounts a brilliant and exceedingly practical woman, find herself at 41,000 feet over the Atlantic in a large, black private jet? Why is she is seated next to a mysterious and handsome priest she has met a scant two hours earlier? Why has a shadowy Lebanese assassin accepted a twenty million Euro deposit to stop Miranda and the priest from completing their quest? What will this odd pairing of science and faith find in the South of France and Northern Italy that will challenge both of their belief systems to their very cores? In the end, will science or faith win out; or will the two even live to find what they seek? Read a new novel by Donald Churchwell to discover the shocking answers.
