Dan Brown, bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with authors Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, whose 1982 book The Holy Blood, Holy Grail proposes a theory involving the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The two authors claim that Brown lifted their research for his novel. The Holy Blood, Holy Grail has subsequently become a bestseller. If Baigent and Leigh are successful, the release of forthcoming movie starring Tom Hanks and Sir Ian McKellan may be in jeopardy. The lawsuit opened today in London.
See the BBC article or Google News for more information.
Place a hold on The Holy Blood, Holy Grail or The Da Vinci Code.
