THE SURROGATE: BOOK ONE
In a remote corner of the Cathedral of Oviedo in Spain, Father Miguel Alvarez is in charge of taking care of the most holy relic of all Christendom: the sudarium, the towel-sized cloth which covered the face of Christ immediately following his death. At eighty years of age, behind the heavy grated door to the Camara Santa (the Holy Chamber), he prays fervently before the relic. Suddenly, a pair of hands grips his head, forcing him to breathe a moistened cloth that causes him to lose consciousness. Not, however, before he sees a masked figure with a scalpel in his hand leaning over the holy bloodstained sudarium. Seven years later, in Fall River, Massachusetts, Hannah Manning, a 19 year-old waitress, is waiting for a sign - something that will tell her what she is supposed to be doing with her life. One day, she notices an advertisement in the newspaper looking for surrogate mothers. The emptiness in Hannah's life suddenly subsides; she seems to have found something meaningful to do with herself. Instead of finding fulfillment as a surrogate mother, however, Hannah ends up taking a terrifying journey deep into a land of fanaticism and zealotry.

"Little by
little, Foglia and Richards reveal the strands that make up the
conspiracy. For that, they succeed in joining the latest developments in
genetic experimentation with the moral and religious implications that
arise from such an undertaking. A great deal of what they imagine could
already be carried out in our times, while other things could easily be a
reality in the near future.
'The Sudarium' is a story that keeps the
reader on the edge of his seat, even when he has turned the final page,
because if some questions are answered in the course of the book, others
continue to stick in the mind of whoever picks up this disturbing
work." - LA REFORMA (MEXICO)
An international bestseller already published in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Poland and Russia.
