The Lost Gospel: An Archaeological Thriller

In Israel, famed archaeologist Christopher Jordan and ancient manuscript expert Kathryn Ferguson team up again to save two recently discovered jars and the early Christian documents they are believed to contain. Complicating their effort are an American Fundamentalist student who discovered the jars and fanatically believes they should be in Christian hands; and a Hezbollah kidnapping attempt of Chris and Kate in reprisal for their earlier heisting of Mark's original gospel from Syria. Israeli and Palestinian antiquity authorities are also in the mix for claiming ownership of the jars in an escalation of this percolating international recipe for war.

Paralleling Chris and Kate's assignment is the story of the original lost sayings of Jesus, the Q Gospel, a creative imagining of how they came to be composed and the author's efforts to save his lifetime work.

Filled with fascinating historical detail, both stories weave between modern and ancient biblical times as formidable obstacles face the protagonists in their race toward thrilling conclusions.
