The most shattering secret of the last two thousand years The first publication of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail in 1982 sparked off a storm of controversy that continues to this day. The enigma: a discovery at Rennes-le-Château that offers little in the way of material wealth, but whose secret rocked the foundations of contemporary politics and the Christian faith. The players: the Knights Templar, the Cathar heretics of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a dynasty of obscure French kings deposed more than 1,300 years ago. The conclusion: as persuasive, controversial and explosive as it was when first published over twenty years ago. The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail is not just a classic of its kind, it's a book whose findings are impossible to ignore.
