"In the ruins of the ancient Roman seaport of Ostia Antica, an Italian archaeologist has discovered a first century papyrus, its faded text revealing a new gospel written by James, younger brother of Jesus. This discovery will show the world a new Jesus Christ, fill in the missing years of his ministry, contradict the existing accounts of his life--and potentially destroy the foundation of 2,000 years of Western civilization."--Excerpted summary from book.

Quattro uomini qualunque, un meccanico, un assicuratore, un commesso e un contabile, ossessionati dall'immagine sensuale di Sharon Fields, una giovane e splendida attrice cinematografica, concepiscono e attuano un piano allucinante e criminoso: il rapimento di Sharon per poter finalmente realizzare i loro più segreti sogni erotici.

Based on the "Kinsey Reports" where Dr. Alfred Kinsey conducted interviews with thousands of men and women on their sexual habits, Irving Wallace's blockbuster novel "The Chapman Report" concerns the interviewing of a number of society ladies from a community in California known only as "The Briars". These interviews, intended to extract data for a book on the sexual habits of married women, lead the reader on a trail through the lives and loves of several very different women, and the men in their lives. At the same time, the novel examines the lives of those conducting the interviews, their morals and motives, and at last becomes a treatise on love, and sex, and everything in between. From the back cover of the 1960 paperback edition: "Not just Wash. I wanted Perowitz and Lavine and Bardelli - I wanted them all..." "I don't nkow how I could have endured marriage without Fred. He's so different from my husband." At first it was asmusing. Then it was titillating. But as the respectable ladies of Briarwood Revealed the most intimate details of their sex lives to the eminent Dr. Chapman and his researchers, they found themselves face to face with long hidden emotions and dangerous desires. The Chapman Report is an International Bestselling novel, made into a Warner Bros. movie starring Jane Fonda in one of her earliest roles.
