Saint's Gate
Two people, isolated by their pasts. An obsessive killer who will force them together. Welcome to Saint's Gate. Emma Sharpe is summoned to a Maine convent, partly for her FBI art crimes work, partly because of her past with the Order. At issue is a mysterious painting of Irish lore and Viking legends. But when the nun who contacted her is murdered, it seems legend is becoming deadly reality. Colin Donovan is one of the FBI's most valuable deep-cover agents. Back home in Maine after his latest mission, a contact clues him in to an intrigue of murder, international art heists and long-held secrets that is too tempting to resist. As danger spirals ever closer, Colin is certain of only one thing—Emma Sharpe is at the center of it all.
The Architectural Setting of the Cult of Saints in the Early Christian West c.300-c.1200
This book explores the way in which church architecture from the earliest centuries of Christianity has been shaped by holy bones - the physical remains or 'relics' of those whom the Church venerated as saints.

This is the first complete modern study of this hitherto somewhat neglected aspect of medieval church architecture in western Europe.

"I have recounted the death of many saints," he writes, "but all of them have confirmed for me the truth of this ancient Christian intuition: in the death of a saint, it is death that dies!" With in-depth research and a flair for storytelling, Sicari brings before our eyes the gracious last hours of one hundred men and w...
