Dr Bill Brockton is dropping off the body of a murdered DEA agent at the Body Farm when he is summoned to Avignon, France by a message that his graduate assistant has been hospitalized with a ruptured appendix. He becomes involved in examining a skeleton of a man who was crucified. I found the science and the history portrayed in the book interesting. A couple of the minor characters were almost caricatures, and I found the interspersed English and French to be somewhat annoying, e.g., "Non, non, okay, oui." The real flaw, however, was the over-the-top melodramatic ending. It's a good mystery that simply falls apart at the end.
