Title: The Lost Word - Frédéric Lenoir Violette Cabesos - book
Summary :
The Basilica of Vézelay: one of the oldest churches dedicated to Mary Magdalene, the sinner of the Gospels. Johanna, a medieval archaeologist, attempts to establish the truth about the controversial origins of the saint's cult. But the young woman's serenity is quickly disturbed by a series of murders on the construction site of one of her colleagues in Pompeii and the strange illness of her little girl, which seems inexplicably linked to these crimes. Johanna then embarks on a perilous investigation, the key to which could well be one of humanity's greatest secrets: the mysterious sentence traced by Jesus in the sand at the feet of the adulterous woman, the only one he ever wrote.
A breathtaking thriller, of formidable erudition, which achieves the feat of combining, in form, the impact of a detective story and, in substance, the power of a spiritual guide. Jérôme Cordelier, Le Point.
