He identifies a "point X" on a cliff mystery, popularised in the 1982 best-seller The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail. The authors began collaborating in 1996, after Guy Patton read Robin Mackness's book about the Nazi massacre at Oradour in the Pyrénées in 1944. Patton, who has been studying the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery for years, was able to shed more light on the occult significance of the Nazis' search for gold in that area. The web becomes more complex with the activities of the French secret society—the Priory of Sion—and its alleged support of Mitterand's campaign and his subsequent rise to power as President of France; its involvement with the Vatican's right-wing intelligence arm, Opus Dei; its shady dealings with the financial institutions of the Vatican and Switzerland; and its asso- ciations with other occult power groupings such as the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Solar Templars and the Italian P2 fascists. The story is still panning itself out on the world stage while the treasure remains hid- den, but the authors have pulled together strands coming from unexpected places.
