Unholy Business: A True Tale of Faith, Greed and Forgery in the Holy Land, by Nina Burleigh (HC, 2008, $3)
"In 2002, an ancient limestone box called the James Ossuary was trumpeted on the world's front pages as the first material evidence of the existence of Jesus Christ. It became exhibit number one in a forgery trial involving millions of dollars worth of high-end biblical-era relics, some of which literally rewrote Near Eastern history and involved the humiliation and ruined careers of some very wealthy men and the embarrassment of prominent institutions."
