A propos de cet article

The manager of Books on Benefit has died under mysterious circumstances, and one of the rarest books in the world is missing -- if it ever existed at all. Did James the Just, oldest surviving brother of Jesus of Nazareth, write a book about the suppressed secrets of his brother's ministry, and the plan to help him survive the crucifixion? The number of strange characters descending on the scene, determined to lay hands on the missing volume, indicate powerful forces believe the book exists -- and are hell-bent on making sure "The Testament of James" never sees the light of day. Aided only by a small band of College Hill misfits, can the unorthodox methods of Matthew Hunter, tracer of lost books, find the Testament in time to keep the Forces of Darkness from condemning the Western World to yet another long, dismal night of ignorance and repression? From the author of "Send in the Waco Killers," "The Ballad of Carl Drega," and "The Black Arrow" comes a tale of rare books, hidden sacraments, and strange goings-on in one of America's oldest cities. With plenty of cats. Only 650 copies of the numbered, signed, hardcover first printing of the novel "The Testament of James" will be sold. First editions of Vin's 2002 non-fiction book, "The Ballad of Carl Drega," in a trade paperback printing of 5,000 copies, originally sold for $24.95. "Carl Drega" is out of print; signed copies now fetch more than $75 online.
