After almost two years of hard work and planning a secret agent infiltrates the close entourage of a holy man from Galilee.
Yehuda of Kerioth was one of the most able spies that the harsh Temple Guard had ever created.
The Temple Guard wanted to know exactly what the intentions of Yeshua of Nazareth were. Did he really intend for his followers to take over and install him as King?
The spy pulled off the greatest task of his entire career. But he disappeared and two days later his corpse was discovered.
Was it suicide or was it murder? The Temple Guard needed to discover the truth about what had happened to their man, so they call back into service the retired spymaster Solomon Eliades who had a personal stake in this investigation, as he had recruited and trained the spy.
However, his investigation is fraught with problems from his own past within the Temple Guard and then another issue arises which impinges on the investigation. A very important corpse has gone missing.
It's a remarkably well-written novel which raises some interesting issues from those distant times.
It's published by The Book Guild at £9.99.
