As a diversion from his efforts to find a cure for his son, Stapleton seeks to expose unscrupulous practitioners of alternative medicine. In particular, he investigates the death of a healthy woman whose vertebral arteries were damaged by a chiropractor. Then the plot swerves into \u003ci\u003eDa Vinci Code\u003c\/i\u003e territory as two of Stapleton's college friends-the archbishop of New York and an archeologist-battle over skeletal remains that may be those of the Virgin Mary. When the characters themselves comment on the events as something out of a horror movie or a book, suspension of disbelief becomes even more of a challenge (e.g., \"He felt like he was a participant in a kind of unfolding real-life mystery-thriller\"). \u003ci\u003e(Aug.)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
