Publisher's summary

An international thriller about the search for Mary, the mother of Jesus, from the New York Times best-selling author of the Repairman Jack novels.

During the Gulf War in 1991, an ancient scroll is found in Southern Israel. Years later, scientists declare it a fake, but an American nun believes it will lead her to the resting place of the Virgin Mary.

What she finds seems to possess miraculous healing powers that attract believers and skeptics from across the globe. She also draws the attention of a mysterious Israeli Shin Bet officer determined to retrieve the remains of the “Mother” at any cost. And that is only the beginning....

Previously published under the pseudonym Mary Elizabeth Murphy.

My pagan ♡ liked it as well as...

my usual style seeker of good storytelling. yes the title was a bit off for me. I try on new narrators & writing here like a junkie! Suspense was y this title popped by. 3 stories about each involving faith. Nun & Priest in love. A man & his son battle to find a relationship between them. The best is the GUARD of the VIRGIN. After a lapse of judgment was this His fault or was it all about the LEGENDs & writing of the 2nd coming? Other events as well but these people I think u r bound 2 appreciate & maybe even relate to. Thx 4 reading this & AUDIBLE, I ♡ my membership! 😺

Really entertaining story

This is a good story. Fun idea and theory. The reader does a good job and the author researched well.
This isn’t really a christian book though. Though most of the book has a christian undertone the end makes clear that the real message is many different paths lead to God.

Worth the read though :)

F Paul Wilson brings Syfy to a new level

Virgin leaves the reader much to think about. While fiction in origin there is some truth in the author’s words

Wonderfully Written

A fantastic religious read! I only wish there had been less vulgarity but understand that it reflects the world we live in. Loved this book!

Good story, Bad ending

sorry to be debbie-downer. but after listening for 10 hours I wanted a better ending... for everyone. good story. kept my attention. at times the jumping around the continent got confusing. I probably would not have bought it if I had paid attention to the reviews. I hate books and movies with bad endings.
