In the wake of Jesus's crucifixion, the authorities in Jerusalem must squelch a brewing rebellion over what has come to be seen as a rushed execution of a genuine prophet. Because of his report, which had been submitted prior to Jesus's trial, Quin becomes a prime object of that post-crucifixion cover-up. During his investigation, Quin had unknowingly become entangled in an anti-Jesus conspiracy--an entanglement severed only after Quin got thrown together with a group of Jesus followers and an itinerant merchant trying to make money off those followers. Among the people Quin meets are a man who worked at a wedding feast in Cana and a young girl who carries a rope she said was used to lower a man through a roof to be healed by Jesus. The report Quin eventually submits will subject him to the wrath of a ruling establishment seeking to eliminate any evidence that it might have known the truth of Jesus before condemning him. But as he flees for his safety, Quin encounters the risen Jesus and learns the truth behind all the strange circumstances he investigated.

Birds to Bones
Birds to Bones takes essays, art, and poetry and turns them into a cosmological dance. Story is truth, the truth is story, it says, and we are all creatures born of earth, reaching for the sky, attempting to transform.

Birds to Bones is story-which is to say truth-steeped in dirt and starlight. Water, air, earth, fire all, all being woven together with words. Meaning isn't something that's opaque and unknowable: it's something that's made, one bit of matter, one spoken word at a time.-Kerry Spencer Pray, editor of I Spoke to You with Silence

Then, in succession, he and his army would topple the Roman strangle hold on Israel. The Pharisees fear that such an insurrection would completely destabilize the country. The Romans would counter attack with devastating consequences. Jake must figure out a way to defuse this volatile situation before it blows up in his face.
