According to Luke (A Bryn Awbrey Novel Book 1)

Art conservator Jana Hayes is unaware, even when she is mugged, that murder and a frantic chase through Europe are about to confound her life. When curator Rob Anderson, who happens to be a priest, brings a mysterious icon into her lab, it shakes her tranquil humdrum days. The ancient wooden panel poses questions about the identity of a New Testament evangelist. It is a dangerous dilemma that changes everything, including how Jana regards her own safety; including the strained relationship with her sharp calculating mother.
According to Luke is a thrilling cultural adventure full of secrecy, symbols, faith, and forbidden love. Follow an ill-fated couple on a quest that charges from Venice to Malta, and then to the Byzantine town of Ravenna. A chase that escalates to disaster in Damascus, until a solution is found in the Victorian countryside in Australia.

Church politics and forbidden romance merge together in this page-turner.
A superb mystery from Rosanne Dingli.
