Synopsis

Kathleen McGowan caused a stir with her New York Times best-seller The Expected One. Its sequel, The Book of Love, introduces audiences to Matilda of Canossa-an 11th-century warrior countess largely forgotten by history. In the present day, Maureen Paschal has become a polarizing figure for Biblical scholars and the faithful after discovering proof of Jesus and Mary Magdalene's marriage. Her life takes another harrowing turn when a mysterious letter, apparently written by Matilda, arrives at her home. Investigating this fascinating woman's history, Maureen is put on the trail of The Book of Love-a gospel written in Jesus' own hand. But powerful forces lurk in the shadows and will go to any length to end Maureen's search. A thrilling international adventure traversing France and Italy, The Book of Love will have listeners guessing until the final secrets are revealed. Acclaimed narrator Linda Stephens provides the perfect voice for Matilda and the plucky Maureen. "Series fans and readers into Da Vinci Code-style church intrigue will enjoy the hell out of this."-Publishers Weekly
