The Relic Master by Christopher Buckley
Set in the tumultuous backdrop of 16th-century Europe, this historical novel follows the adventures of Dismas, a relic hunter who procures religious artifacts for wealthy patrons. When a scheme to forge the Shroud of Turin goes awry, Dismas finds himself entangled in a web of deceit, political intrigue, and religious fervor. As he navigates the dangerous waters of Renaissance politics, he must rely on his wit and resourcefulness to survive. The narrative is a satirical exploration of faith, greed, and the human penchant for believing in the miraculous, all wrapped in a richly detailed and humorously engaging tale.
