The Magdalene Scrolls

When the first of the Magdalene Scrolls arrives, Professor Ben Messer is puzzled, intrigued, excited.  What scholar of ancient languages wouldn't be, when he held in his hands something even more astonishing than the Dead Sea Scrolls -- a scroll just discovered to contain the life story and last confession of a man who had lived in Jerusalem just after the death of Christ.

By the time the second scroll arrives, Ben's interest has begun to be more than professional. For it seems that David, the writer of the ancient scrolls, is in many ways like Ben -- and he seems to be speaking directly to Ben, across nearly 2,000 years of history.

Before long, the terrifying transformation has begun, and there can be no turning back ....

What the critics say:

"... a fast-paced novel of terror."  - Los Angeles Times

"Prepare yourself for a tour de fource into ultimate mysteries.  There are moments in this novel that cast light upon the shadows of the soul."  - Houston Chronicle

"Absorbing reading and a hard one to put down." - Hartford Current
