The background to "Legacy Of The Sphinx" is an ancient mystery – perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of them all: what happened to Ark of the Covenant after the reign of Solomon, a thousand years before Christ?
It is however, a lot more than just "another" biblical mystery, touching on the role of the Roman Catholic Church in the modern world; the organisation and aims of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits); and the latest, cutting edge developments in the physical sciences.
It is also a romance: one between a disillusioned Jesuit priest and a Carmelite nun, yet to take her final vows, who was transferred into a Carmlelite institution as a novice at the age of 15.
The involvement of both the Vatican and the "Knights Templar" in the fictional events leading to the remnants of the Ark being buried in modern-day Cornwall, lends a real cutting edge to the story. As does the incredible story of the Exodus, the controversy surrounding the identity of Moses; and the contents and capabilities of the Ark itself.
