The Man in the Shroud is a provocative, totally engrossing mystery novel that will intrigue you, make you laugh, and make you wonder. It tells the story of three disparate characters - a Welsh screenwriter who lives in Saint Raphael in southern France, an Albigensian priest who knocks on Marc's door, late one night, and starts talking images of The Shroud of Turin, and Francesca, a beautiful, unconventional Italian woman, who changes Marc's life, as soon as she comes knocking on his door. Lynn John takes you on a frenetic journey from Saint Raphael to Florence, to Torino, to Rome, and you hear the voices, smell the aromas, see the sights, taste the food. The Man in the Shroud is controversial. It will be controversial. But once you start reading, you won't be able to stop until you reach the startling, yet satisfying end."
