MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n One thing I have always admired about Davis Bunn is that whatever the subject, the characters, the location, the time frame, etc. I can always count on the fact that he has done his research. While I am enjoying his story, I also seem to be absorbing some facts I didn’t know before. What a delightful way to learn!<\/p>\n During the days following World War 1, as the world is beginning to rebuild, Muriel Ross joins Senator Bryan in Paris ostensibly to photograph antiquities. Little does she realize that she has been groomed for this task by her training at the Smithsonian. She soon discovers the true reason she has been summoned and finds herself in the midst of an adventure that takes her from the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris to the U.S. Embassy in Constantinople and more danger than she could imagine.<\/p>\n The story is woven around the search for a fragment of the true cross and is filled with political intrigue between nations and the danger of a country on the verge of revolution. Faced with conflict and life-threatening events, Muriel is forced to choose if she will stand firm in her beliefs.<\/p>\n As expected, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Fragment”. My only complaint is that it ended much to soon.<\/p>\n I received a complimentary copy of this book from Franciscan Media in exchange for my honest review.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s 1923, and a resilient Paris is starting to recover from the ravages of World War I and the Spanish Flu epidemic.<\/p>\n Enter Muriel Ross, an amateur photographer tasked with documenting the antiques that her employer, U.S. Senator Tom Bryan, has traveled to France to acquire.<\/p>\n Although she\u2019s exhilarated to have escaped her parents and the confines of their stifling Virginia home, Muriel has lingering questions about why the senator has chosen her for this grand adventure. Nevertheless, she blossoms in her new surroundings, soaking up Parisian culture and capturing the sights and sounds of Paris on her camera.<\/p>\n But events take a dangerous turn when she discovers that the senator is on a mission far more momentous\u2014and potentially deadly\u2014than a mere shopping trip.<\/p>\n At the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Senator Bryan asks Muriel to photograph an astonishing artifact: a piece of the True Cross, discovered by Empress Helena\u2014a historical figure familiar to readers of The Pilgrim<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n When rumors surface that another fragment has been unearthed, Muriel becomes enmeshed in a covert international alliance dedicated to authenticating the fragment\u2014and protecting it from those who will stop at nothing to steal and discredit it.<\/p>\n The Fragment<\/em> releases February 19, 2016<\/strong>, from Franciscan Media Books.<\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n His work has been published in twenty languages, and critical acclaim includes four Christy Awards for excellence in fiction and his 2014 induction into the Christy Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n Davis divides his time between Florida and England, where he serves as Writer In Residence at Regent\u2019s Park College at The University of Oxford.
