I read this also about a year ago, great book. I found out about it from
The 60 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time by Johnathan Vankin and John
Whalen. This is a fun introduction to major conspiracy theories. They have
a good website at http://www.webcom.com/~conspire/.

BTW the guys who did Holy Blood, Holy Grail, also covered the "Dead Sea
Scrolls" conspiracy, basically saying that the scrolls discredit the work
of Saul/Paul refering to him as "the Liar". They claim that Paul injected
spiritual themes into the life of Jesus in order to weaken his political
stances.
