NELSON DEMILLE
THE QUEST
A sweeping adventure that's equal parts thriller and love story,
Nelson DeMille's newest novel takes the reader from the war torn jungles
of Ethiopia to the magical city of Rome.
While
the Ethiopian Civil War rages, a Catholic priest languishes in prison.
Forty years have passed since he last saw daylight. His crime? Claiming
to know the true location of Christ's cup from the Last Supper. Then the
miraculous happens - a mortar strikes the prison and he is free!
Old,
frail, and injured, he escapes to the jungle, where he encounters two
Western journalists and a beautiful freelance photographer taking refuge
from the carnage. As they tend to his wounds, he relates his incredible
story.
Motivated by the sensational tale and
their desire to find the location of the holiest of relics, the trio
agrees to search for the Grail.
Thus begins an
impossible quest that will pit them against murderous tribes, deadly
assassins, fanatical monks, and the passions of their own hearts.
