But still simmering away in his brain was a chance discovery made in 2003 on his way to Rennes-le-Château; the little village in the south of France which shot to fame in the 1980s after the story of Father Berenger Saunière, the local priest who became a millionaire, was published in the international best seller \u003cem\u003eThe Holy Blood and the Holy Grail\u003c\/em\u003e. For over ninety years, the mystery of Rennes-le-Château has sparked a wealth of speculation involving theories about lost treasure, societies, death cults, portals to other dimensions, sacred geometry and even aliens. Just how Father Saunière became rich is still a mystery today. But have other investigators overlooked the most obvious explanation? Gerard joins forces with retired research librarian Jennifer Sinclair and together they set out to re-examine the mystery through a new lens, the lens of geology. \u003cem\u003e38 Specks: The Proposition\u003c\/em\u003e is a fresh look at the mystery which continues to fascinate millions of people worldwide. Freed from his previous life organised around the demands of commercial kitchens, Gerard takes us on a journey from the ancient beauty of Australia to the stunning wine region of the south of France on his quest and discovers a simple truth: geology doesn't lie.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginninderra Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47779898753175,"sku":"9781761090660","price":2709.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781761090660.webp?v=1778040740","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/38-specks-the-proposition-9781761090660","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
