Father Christopher is blessed. He is lazy, he likes people, and he is not interested in sex: being a priest is the perfect job for him. In the late eighties, he is entrusted with the care of a flock of misfits and unfortunates in San Francisco. Disease, death, tragedy surround him. He also witnesses small miracles, acts of kindness and love, friendships deeper than he knew.
Suddenly, a parishioner's young boy is kidnapped without a trace. Mysterious clues appear, hinting at the culprit and the tragic fate that is awaiting the child - if Father Christopher can't solve the puzzle.
Our hero risks everything to find the child, including his standing with the Church. As the Archbishop frowns, Father Christopher is forced to examine the religion he has known since childhood, realizing that there is a lot more to the stories in the Gospels than the Church has ever let on.

Of the thousands of pages in the Bible, the words and deeds of Jesus cover just over one hundred. In a day's read, hidden in plain sight, read every week by millions, are secrets and mysteries more powerful than ever before imagined.
When a parishioner's son is kidnapped, Father Christopher is roused to action. Mysterious clues point at the culprit and the location. They also spell out trouble: torture and death for a young boy if the priest can't solve the puzzle.
But Father Christopher is lazy. He never paid any attention in seminar, getting by on good looks and charm alone. How is he supposed to know the answer to questions like:
- Who was the one that Jesus killed?
- How did Jesus's father, Joseph disappear?
- Did Judas really betray Jesus? Or was it someone else?
To save the child from certain death, Father Christopher will have to revisit all he knows about the Gospels. He will have to actually read them as carefully as few of us have done. And before him unfold secrets hidden in plain sight, two-thousand years old, the original bargain of the newborn Church.
