day.

Reviews:
"A tale rich with intrigue that grips the imagination. A must
read."
--Clive Cussler
"Dan Brown fans will not be disappointed as [the novel] climbs from the
bowels of Grand Central to the streets of Rome to an incendiary conclusion high
in the French Alps."
--Andrew Gross, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Lifeguard
and Judge & Jury
"Unholy Grail is a runaway train of a novel, taking readers
through a maze of intrigue, betrayal, and murder, all within the rarefied
framework of the Catholic Church's ultra-secret intelligentsia.
Comparisons to The Da Vinci Code are inevitable, but make no mistake:
D.L. Wilson is not a Dan Brown clone. He is a master storyteller who takes this
new genre -- let's call it the religious thriller -- to an unholy new
level."
--Molly Cochran, EdgarŽ Award-winning and New York Times bestselling
coauthor of Grandmaster and The Forever King
"Absolutely thrilling. Unholy Grail is a compulsive read loaded
with suspense. D.L. Wilson has crafted a story that will leave you on the edge
of your seat and gasping for breath."
--Lynn Hightower, author of When Secrets Die and The Debt Collector
"A well-crafted suspense thriller that delivers its first twist on page
one. From the hallowed halls of academia to the revered sanctuary of the church,
D.L. Wilson weaves a masterful tale of serial murder, secrecy, and deception.
Well-developed characters, extraordinary insight, and expert pacing, combine for
an edge-of-your-seat read."
--Thomas O'Callaghan, author of Bone Thief
