The Last Drum Beat

FBI agents, Philip Anderson and Carolina Valadez, are part of a covert searching for the legendary Chalice of Blood, but they aren't prepared for the horrors and challenges. For 2000 years the rumors about a cup of Jesus Christ's blood has fascinated historians. Now in 2011, the Roman Catholic Church wants that cup found. However, the cursed Fourth Cohort having the chalice has other ideas and murderously fights to keep the cup. Their search plunges them through three countries while uncovering one challenge after another. As the truth about Christ's blood rises to the surface, the ruthless clan responsible for the chalice of blood increases their murderous events.
