The Surrogate, The Sudarium Trilogy - Book One - Plot & Excerpts
They were on the building in the background of the photo. Over the left shoulder of the boy eating the ice cream. She compared it to the photo of Jolene and the boy - was he her son? - standing in front of a cathedral that looked as if it were made of melting wax. That one could have been taken anyplace. Cathedrals weren’t exactly in short supply in the world. But the photo of the boy with the ice cream cone was another matter.

Still, she had to start somewhere. She took a last look at the photograph of the smiling figures in front of the melting cathedral and slipped out the door. At the East Acton library, she went directly to the Encyclopedia Americana. It didn’t take her long to learn that Asturias was a province in northern Spain.
