thank you, Philosoraptor - hard to believe, but I never managed to read a Kathy Reichs thriller so far - so great choice :)
an overview from a booksite:
Examining a badly decomposed corpse is de rigueur for forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. But puzzling damage on the body of a shooting victim, an Orthodox Jewish man, suggests this is no ordinary Montreal murder. When a stranger slips Tempe a photograph of a skeleton unearthed at an archaeological site, Tempe uncovers chilling ties between the dead man and secrets long buried in the dust of Israel. Traveling there with Detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe plunges into an international mystery as old as Jesus, and centered on the controversial discovery of Christ's tomb. Has a mastermind lured her into an elaborate hoax? If not, Tempe may be on the brink of rewriting two thousand years of history -- if she can survive the foes dead set on burying her.
I quite enjoyed reading this book. It is a similar concept to the Da Vinci-Code. A mixture of murder and history and conspiracy theories. I sometimes found it annoying how easily and blue-eyed Tempe walks into dangers without thinking first.

travelling to Colombina, have fun reading!
This novel has arrived today in Wuppertal, Germany - thank you very much for sharing and sending! I am looking forward to reading it.4 August 2010: Even though the book was not always as suspenseful as I thought it would be, I enjoyed reading it very much. The story is intriguing and archeology is always a fascinating subject, but what I especially liked were the funny conversations (e.g. Ryan imitating Jakes "Oh my God!").
