Crown
of Thorns
By Hank Luce
Nick
Renna, a reclusive professor of History and embittered
lapsed-Catholic, bears a simmering resentment toward
the God he believes abandoned him years earlier. Now,
bound by a deathbed promise to the former lover who
left him to become a Dominican nun, Nick must continue
her search for the lost Crown
of Thorns of Jesus Christ—a relic of
extraordinary spiritual and physical power. Beginning
at a small college campus in New Hampshire, Nick’s
quest takes him from the sophisticated environs of
Geneva, to the Secret Vatican Archives in Rome, and
eventually to the Pyrenees of northern Spain, where
unspeakable evil confronts unlimited love. But as Nick
gets closer to the Crown, powerful forces want this
artifact for its potential power. What happens if
someone puts on the Crown
of Thorns?
