Local author Steve Meloan and his brother Michael Meloan will read from and sign copies of their new book The Shroud at Readers' Books.
The Shroud is a science-adventure novel that explores the intersection between science and spirituality – offering a compelling scientific backdrop, while exploring many of today’s news-making scientific, spiritual, and ethical questions.
The story takes place in the near future, where a genetic research team from the NIH has been asked by the Vatican to use the latest findings of the Human Genome Project to shed new light on the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. The ensuing investigative journey – from Washington D.C., to Israel, to Belize – has global repercussions and transforms the lives of all involved.
