Why have a nun in a 17th-century convent flagellate herself until her blood vessels spattered the wall membrane? Why have nuns save a child doomed to fatality in the Holocaust and who wished her killed? Who would like a lost head-shaped reliquary that supports something apart from a head? And are answers to these questions the key to a terrible modern-day fatality in a peaceful archive? When North american historian Pandora (Dory) Ryan detects a very rare, uncataloged 17th-century nun's journal in the record e book at the provincial archives in Avignon, she is thrilled. That is historian's treasure. But she doesn't know yet that it will send her on a search that results in changes in how she feels about her profession, the irrational, and love with an attractive Frenchman. And it'll take her from the archive on a dangerous adventure in to the countryside of Provence, which, beautiful as it is, has a long and bloody history. The archive's dramatis personae: the grumpy archivist, with his paper-clip chains; the gofer, who smokes Gauloises and gets away with much too much; a nun with a feeling of humor who harangues senior high school kids about making love; the nun's gorgeous sidekick; a famous North american historian, whose requests for documents are inexplicably rejected; the eminent teacher, destined to show up in love; his nervous graduate student. And that hot Frenchman, who isn't who he says he is.
