Bradley is back! Michael Bradley, author of the critically acclaimed 'Swords at Sunset' and other non-fiction books on the Holy Grail (he was a researcher for The Da Vinci Code movie), has now written his first novel since the 1970s, when 'Imprint' and 'The Mantouche Factor' together sold more than half-a-million copies. Now the long fiction drought is over with the release of a new novel. 'The Magdalene Mandala' draws on Bradley's enviable reputation as a Holy Grail expert to lend authenticity to a plot that twists and turns at a rapid pace, bringing together murder and intrigue, political cover-ups, the Grail... and Mary Magdalene. Added to this intoxicating literary mix are detailed descriptions of ingenious low-tech survivalist devices.
