This novel makes you look at the heroes of the Old Testament in a new way. This is not a boring retelling of Sacred Scripture—it’s a real biblical detective story! After leading the Jews out of Egyptian captivity, the prophet Moses meets secret resistance to the Exodus: someone spoils the supplies and poisons the water, without which in the desert there is a certain death, sets fire to the camp, kills the guides, spreads rumors about “Moses’s madness,” and incites the people to revolt against God’s will. Who is he— the Pharaoh’s secret agent? Where will the next blow be struck? What do you do when suspicion falls even on the prophet’s own loved ones? How can Moses expose the traitor, save his people from destruction, and obtain the Ten Commandments?
