When carbon-dating revealed the Turin Shroud to have been created in the Middle Ages, it raised more questions than it answered. How was the negative photographic image created? Why was it so important? Who made it? Using state-of-the-art computer technology, combined with research into ancient documents, Keith Laidler proves that the truth about the Shroud is even more remarkable than had it been the genuine burial shroud of Jesus. His account, based on several years of research, takes us from Palestine through Europe to Scotland and involves the mysterious Knights Templar and their worship of a sacred head.
