According to the curse, any person who actually touched the relic itself, not just the container, would die as soon as the relic had passed into the hands of another. This relic was said to have been cursed by it's caretaker when the soldiers of the Crusade invaded the city of Jerusalem and committed wholesale slaughter, often for absolutely no reason whatsoever. The basic story follows the travels of a religious relic from Jerusalem to modern day London.

I used this novel to investigate the writings of a variety of authors. ![]()
