July 1209: in Carcassonne a young girl is given a mysterious book by her father which he claims contains the secret of the true Grail. Although Alais cannot understand the strange words and symbols hidden within, she knows that her destiny lies in protecting it. It will take great sacrifice and faith to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe - a secret that stretches back thousands of years to the deserts of Ancient Egypt ...July 2005: Alice Tanner stumbles upon two skeletons during an archaeological dig in the mountains outside Carcassonne. Inside the hidden tomb where the bones lie crumbling, she experiences an overwhelming sense of malevolence, as well as a creeping understanding that, however impossible it seems, she can somehow understand the mysterious ancient words carved into the rock. Too late, Alice realises she's set in motion a terrifying sequence of events that she cannot control and that her destiny is inextricably tied up with the fate of the Cathars 800 years before.

#1 must read
This is a book that should be read at least twice. It is some of the best writing I have ever read and the tale is so well presented.
It is a must read. The same can be said for The Sepulchre.
Kate Moss is a superb author.

Awesome Book!
This book was a book club pick for the CSUCI book Club. I loved how it took place through history and the present. A good take on something that we have all read or seen in The Da Vinci Code. Can't decide if I want to part with it or keep it on my bookshelf.

Too much detail
This is an intriguing story that got lost in too much detail. The attention to detail was almost scholarly, which was a distraction in some cases. It broke the action so the scenes didn't flow as smoothly as I liked. It was not the page-turner that I had hoped it would be and had a predictable ending. I would recommend it to people who enjoyed "The DaVinci Code" or similar fiction.
