The Search For the Mysterious Second Adam: a Jake Jezreel Adventure (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781973699293)

First century Private Detective, Jake Jezreel has been thrown into a confusing investigation. Wealthy and well-connected Pharisees have hired the detective to track down a mysterious character they claim is "dangerous". Their accusation stems from their assessment that the mystery man is forming an army of ravenous followers. They believe that this rebel leader wants to overthrow the Jewish government. 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. And the heat in the investigative cauldron, stoked by the religious leaders, is boiling hotter and fierier.

Jake begins to realize that he has been swept up into the middle of a vicious blood-vengeance against the "rebel". Jake is trapped in the middle. It is quite apparent that the religious leaders are demanding that he must do their bidding no matter what the cost. And Jake can feel their icy fingers clutching at him, forcing him.

But Jake is shocked by another startling fact, jumping out at him in the midst of his initial investigation. Tangled up in all the twists and turns of his fact-finding probe, the detective uncovers a disturbing truth. Flying in the face of everything he had ever been taught, Jake unearths indisputable evidence that there was not just one Adam. There were two! There was a Second Adam! How can he explain that to the religious leaders?

The religious leaders want results from their detective. They are squeezing him hard to deliver the incriminating facts they salivate for.

How can Jake reveal all the disturbing facts he has uncovered to the vengeful religious leaders. He's discovered only good and marvelous evidence about the 'rebel'. And now the undeniable truth that there actually was a Second Adam! What dire consequences will come crashing down upon Jake when he unloads his final report upon the religious leaders?

Only a shocking, unimaginable conclusion can answer that fearsome question.
