Wanna collaborate? The formula is obviously to pick a person or topic
that
is well-known and popular then invent some kind of semi-plausible
conspiracy
theory around it.
How about something like "The secret discoveries of Galileo?" You could
suggest that there were other things that caused Galileo to be persecuted
by
the Church apart from the Earth going around the Sun, etc., but these have
been hidden in the Vatican archives for hundreds of years because they
reveal secrets too shocking for us to know...! The church was actually
not too upset by his publicly-known astronomical discoveries, but they
feared that the other "secret" stuff might come out, so they forced him to
recant so as to try and reduce his public standing, and also as a threat
as
to what they might do to him if he went public with the other stuff. Some
idea of what this "secret other stuff" is would naturally be "revealed" by
discovery of some kind of secret writings or inscriptions of the Templars
or
the Freemasons or Opus Dei or the Jesuits some other organization with an
aura of mystery about it.
Make it about 800 pages in paperback with a bold, embossed cover and there
you go!
