Patrice Chaplin began going to Girona, Spain, at age 15, and with each visit she became more enmeshed in its mysteries. She found a lover, Jose; met many strange characters; and heard dark talk of the legendary Abbé Saunière of Rennes-le-Château.

Eventually the society asks Patrice to be the vehicle for revealing their secrets. This riveting account is the result of that request.
