Gospel of the Feathered Serpent

Fear and disbelief grip the Vatican, and the very foundations of Christianity are challenged when a "Holy Man", an uncorrupted body and seven papyrus manuscripts are discovered in a Mayan burial box beneath a ruined church in Mexico's Chiapas State. An archaeologist and Muslim friend battle a Papal Inquisitor, a corrupt Mormon official, and the Mayan Indians to possess the miraculous corpse and scrolls, all of them unaware that the greatest treasure of all has been recovered by a Mayan shaman who plans to leave Christianity's greatest prize in the hands of a renegade Catholic priest.
