When Pakistani archeologist, Amman Lal Ded, is murdered, a series of cataclysmic events is unleashed, affecting not only his son, Mushtaq, and Natalie Rowe, a forensic pathologist, but the entire Christian and Muslim world.
Before his death, Amman left Natalie the key to a safe-deposit box containing an ancient document, which he said would shed light on a major Christian premise. Not knowing its location, Natalie and Mushtaq embark on a harrowing journey to find it.
Their path leads them deep within a sacred Muslim shrine in Kashmir. A startling discovery provides evidence that Jesus' remains are interred in the shrine. Had Jesus, in fact, survived the Crucifixion?
With Pakistani terrorists in hot pursuit, Natalie and Mushtaq fear there may be no escape. If they survive long enough to uncover the document, will it authenticate their discovery in the shrine?
A riveting tale sure to give your imagination a thorough workout!

From A Review
Reminiscent of The DaVinci Code, this book is well-written with solid characterization, a credible and compelling plot, and a good pace that carries the reader along with the story. While reminding the reader of Dan Brown’s work, this book clearly stands on its own merits. I highly recommend this book as a good weekend read.

I first came across the Marium-Jesus Theory in a newspaper article.
The idea that Christ may have survived his crucifixion intrigued me so I pored over available literature and existing archives. To my surprise, a number of religious and scientific scholars are convinced that Jesus did survive and was ultimately interred in Kashmir.
All led to the plot of this novel.
** Fun Stuff to Know **
The painting used for the cover of The Papyrus Document was done by a student of Garret Dow. (Dow was one of Rembrandt's students.) My great
grandfather purchased the painting in Paris. He passed it on to my
grandfather who then gave it to my mother. I got it from her. The painting
was authenticated and restored by Yelland art galleries forty years ago.
It's one piece of art that will hopefully stay in our family for generations
to come.

Other Tales By Michael
Golden Disk of the Sun - A jealous and troubled entrepreneur and his fiancée, a beautiful archeologist, hire Eric Shade, a guide, to lead them into the Amazon jungle in search of a priceless Incan treasure. The golden mirror purportedly lies hidden inside a maleficent mountain, a mountain where it has been rumored the mysterious Star Walkers live. They soon discover that much more than an ancient artifact is at stake. Not only does the journey extract its toll on these adventurers, but once they are close to finding the treasure, rivalry, betrayal, and deceit enter into play. (Book 1 of the Star Walkers Trilogy) more...
Tunnels of the Deep - Deceit and betrayal await a history professor and the beautiful student who convinces him to leave the safety of the classroom and enter the treacherous Amazon jungle. His inner strength is tested by a man who is every bit as much a predator as the giant anacondas that abound in the swampy marshlands they must cross to locate a tunnel. The tunnel not only leads them to an ancient city, but also to a group of natives who have outlandish powers, which they claim they inherited from the Star Walkers. At first the professor refuses to believe in the legend that a group of gods could have actually descended from the sky in strange ships to impart their wisdom to these natives. But that is before he participates in a ceremony. The rite convinces him that the Star Walkers are much more than just a myth. (Book 2 of the Star Walkers Trilogy) more...
Strands of Life - When Eric Shade purchases a 16th-century letter written by a Spanish conquistador that provides information on how the legendary Star Walkers can be found, he sets out into the Amazon in search of them. Things become mighty complicated when Shade realizes that in addition to having to deal with mercenaries who are hell-bent on killing him, he must also contend with a tribe of cannibals. But it is only when he is confronted with the imposing challenges of an infamous mountain that Shade begins to doubt his own abilities. Deep within this mountain, Shade discovers the truth about the Star Walkers. Much to his horror, he realizes that it is up to him to make certain the world doesn't implode. (Book 3 of the Star Walkers Trilogy) more...
Well of Souls - Professor Templeton gets a lot more than she bargains for when she agrees to join an expedition whose goal is to find Genghis Khan's tomb. On her quest for his sarcophagus, she stumbles upon an ancient gold medallion. Its inscription enables her to uncover a conspiracy so horrific that not only does it create an international incident, but also causes one man to go insane and another to lose his life. more...
Room of Dark Secrets - While searching for an ancient mystical manuscript, a cardinal jeopardizes his chances of becoming pope by inadvertently disclosing to the media a Vatican conspiracy. A Las Vegas magician is looking for the same book. If he doesn’t locate it, he will lose his job and with it his lavish lifestyle. And if he does find it, he will become famous—that is, if the powers within the book don’t kill him first. more...
Subprime - Set against a backdrop of financial intrigue, Subprime provides the reader with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the highly charged and unscrupulous world of mortgage lending. Not only must the protagonist navigate his way through the serpentine and sometimes ruthless world of big business, but he must do so amidst treachery and betrayal from a seemingly benign uncle who, consumed with making money, seeks power in much the same way an addict craves drugs. more...
Secrets of El Tovar Canyon - When an unscrupulous antiquities dealer hires an archeologist to uncover the origin of an ancient tablet, he sets off a bizarre chain of events: Ten-thousand-year-old mummies are found in a cave in the Grand Canyon. A golden statue is discovered in the Sphinx’s paw. What's the secret linking Arizona and Egypt? The U.S. Dept. of Defense believes the answer may well put the entire world at risk. more...
