At first revelling in the freedom Paris affords, events take a dangerous turn when Muriel intuits that Senator Bryan is on a mission far more momentous, and potentially deadly, than a mere shopping trip.   Asked to photograph an astonishing artefact – a piece of the True Cross on which, legend has it, Christ was crucified – Muriel is deeply moved. When rumours surface that a second fragment has been unearthed in Constantinople, she becomes enmeshed in a covert international alliance dedicated to authenticating this sacred relic . . . and protecting it from those who will stop at nothing to steal and discredit it.   ‘Bunn . . . has mastered the art of weaving history and story together in a seamless fashion.

An easy read, with a gripping storyline, and with spiritual truth woven through it. It’s refreshing to read a novel like this which has such spiritual truth at the heart of it.  The Fragment’ reads like a more charming and less frantic Dan Brown novel, except here the input of Christianity is more obvious and certainly woven in as spiritual truth and not just for dramatic effect. A cleverly written novel, perfect for the beach, sitting by the pool, or just for lounging around on an autumn evening in front of the fire. -- Jules Middleton * Blog Picking apples for gold http:\/\/www.pickingapplesofgold.com\/the-fragment-b *","brand":"SPCK Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50470282494295,"sku":"9781910674383","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781910674383.jpg?v=1744897878","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-fragment-9781910674383","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
