Rabbi Jesus is dead, having been crucified. His followers are stunned, grieving, and fleeing. In that troubled Golgotha environs, a frightened boy who watched the great rabbi die seeks solace from his mother; she instead tells him to find his father, a devout disciple of the late Rabbi Jesus.

Frightened but young enough to hide his fear with bluster, the lad finds only distraught and angry people. That is until he meets devious conman Jeshua, who persuades Addan to come with him; the rambunctious charmer takes the youngster under his wings. They team up, trying to survive the post-crucifixion danger from authorities, true believers, and others, while Addan is mesmerized by the charlatan who keeps him physically safe but morally breaks Jesus’s ethical and religious code.

As with his powerful biblical tales, D. S. Lliteras provides a strong insightful character-driven thriller that occurs immediately following the crucifixion. The storyline is told from the perspective of young Addan, who is confused by what he has seen and sees, but finds comfort with the pretender Jeshua rather than in the teachings of Rabbi Jesus. Interestingly, Jeshua, in his own way, is a moral “swindler”; but this deep poignant novel is all about Addan’s faith, as he initially clings to the bird in the hand rather than believe there might be two in the bush. This is great work by one of the best authors of early Christian stories.
