From the penthouses and ethnic hubbub of New York, to the grand casas and poverty of Mexico City, from the Vatican to the altars of the Virgin of Guadalupe, a thrilling battle ensues over the second infant whose genes may be divine. Culture, history and issues blend in this passionate, sizzling plot as THE SACRED IMPOSTOR explores human smuggling and the reasons for it, the ancient healing art of curanderismo, Mexican politics, the Virgin of Guadalupe tradition, and unfolds the mystical story of how the world reacts to rumors of a second Jesus clone. Twice optioned for Hollywood film, nominated for awards, and translated into five languages, THE JESUS THIEF is the first thriller in this series. BOOKLIST dubbed it great stuff in a starred review. A pioneer cloning scientist, the late Dr. Robert H. Foote of Cornell, called it a spellbinder. The saga continues in THE SECRET MADONNA.
