Sirkelens ende
Beltø, Bjørn (fiktiv person), 1
En annerledes spenningsroman der myter, historie og teologi veves sammen - en historie som får deg til å stanse opp og tenke. Hovedpersonen er arkeologen Bjørn Beltø. En utgraving på Værne kloster i Østfold sender sjokkbølger inn i den vitenskapelige verden. I et relikvieskrin ligger et to tusen år gammelt manuskript som kaster nytt lys over kristendommens opprinnelse. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.
