Exhilarated to escape her Virginia home, she is tasked with documenting antiques for U.S. Senator Tom Bryan. But events take a dangerous turn when Muriel discovers that the senator is also on a mission that's momentous – and potentially deadly. At the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Bryan asks Muriel to photograph an astonishing artifact: a piece of the True Cross. But when rumors surface that another fragment has been unearthed, Muriel becomes enmeshed in a covert international alliance dedicated to authenticating the fragment – and protecting it from those who will stop at nothing to steal and discredit it.

I truly enjoyed The Fragment. Davis Bunn has woven a tale epic adventure, suspense, and danger, but it is also a realistic story of one nation recovering from great tragedy and another nation descending into chaos. As a student of history I really appreciated the real history and even historical characters embedded within the exciting storyline.
A moving story of a young woman finding her purpose and deepening her faith. The Fragment is a loose sequel to The Pilgrim and is a thought-provoking read for Catholic and Protestant alike. Don't miss Davis Bunn's latest thrilling historical.
