The Mystery of the Strawman: A Jake Jezreel Adventure (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385034970)

It all began for detective Jake Jezreel with the discovery of an ancient letter. A lost, never-before-seen letter. The inscription was a message from Jake's father from fifteen years before. Happiness and sorrow were intertwined in that note. But deep within the cipher rested a hidden menace from the dark past. The menace was a criminal only identified as Strawman. In fifteen years, where had Strawman hidden himself. Jake hadn't a clue what had happened to Strawman. But in short order Jake Jezreel was about to find out. And he will also discover that Strawman has a much more grandiose crime in mind than all his previous penny-ante criminalities. Soon after this discovery, Jake is hired to deliver a pastoral letter for the Senior Pastor in the Jerusalem church, Pastor James. The letter would later become known as The Epistle of James. The first destination for the letter is the coastal city of Caesarea, the capital of Judea. Upon arrival, Jake encounters someone with a distant association to his past. And in the process, the detective uncovers a devious plot to assassinate one of the key personalities in the city during the Roman holiday celebration of Parilia. Time is running out. Jake is called in by the local authorities to discover and thwart the unseen, unknown perpetrators. But Jake has only a day and a half to ferret out the murderous gang before the Parilia celebration begins. There is only one mysterious note as a clue. It is signed - Strawman.
