Iscariot: A Novel

Reverend Ryan Quinn is CEO of an ecclesiology research organization. With a team of Egyptologists recruited from New York museums, he embarks on a vaguely defined mission funded liberally by the Vatican, but also by a mysterious family. The narrative takes us to New York, France, Italy, Egypt, and New Mexico. The investigative team visits the Oasis of Fayoum , the Coptic caves of Naqlun , and the catacombs of Khnum - Pharaoh Akhenaton's City of the Dead. There are twists along the way, a dead priest's notes to be deciphered, bizarre, ritual executions, and a startling conclusion that will disturb many.
