Hairston also mentioned that he’s preparing himself mentally for sitting out and simply just trying to stay positive....

And then there’s Hairston. MORE: Biggest disappointments of the season | Why did Hornets choose Lamb over Hairston?...

Both books are thrillers dealing with spooky ancient conspiracies within the Roman Catholic Church–not exactly virgin territory (no pun intended). So it’s neither surprising nor suspicious that both might feature snoopy professors of religion and references to “a secret so powerful that, if revealed, it threatened to devastate the very foundation of Christianity” (“The Da Vinci Code”). A.k.a. “information” so devastating that “Christianity and all that it stands for would be called into question” (“Daughter of God”)....
