How to Read Saint Mark's Bones Kindle
They snatched the wrong body, and now ex-U.S. Marshal Mike Bradovich has to fix it. FACT: In AD 828, the wealthy City State of Venice sent two merchant mariners across the Mediterranean to Alexandria, Egypt, to recover the remains of Saint Mark. They snatched the mummified remains, hid them in the belly of their ship, and covered them with cabbages and pig carcasses to keep the Muslims from discovering them. FACT: Their ploy worked, and Saint Mark’s mummy has lain beneath the High Altar of Saint Mark’s Basilica in Venice for over a thousand years. Or has it? FACT: Some historians believe that the merchants got the wrong body! That they brought back the remains of Alexander the Great instead of those of Saint Mark. Now, the pope has secretly hired Mike to go to Egypt, find the real Saint Mark, and bring him to Venice. The Egyptians will do anything they can to stop him from stealing Saint Mark’s Bones.
