Holy Blood, Holy Grail...

Henry Lincolns' book The Holy Blood, Holy Grail was co-authored with Richard Leigh and Micheal Baigent; it had a big impact on the scale and nature of tourism hereabouts and I'm guessing that most of the ex-pats here have read it.
Just heard that Micheal Baigent died a couple of days ago. He'd been fighting liver disease for a long time and it rather looked as if he was winning but alas, a brain hemorrhage has got him. Richard Leigh is already dead and I'm having fond fantasies of the two of them in another world, tweaking their thesis:)
-Somebody have a baby, I'm tired of reporting deaths.

Later; our Marcus has an obit in the Indie, link here
