Jannaeus is thrilled when men on the Great Sanhedrin send him to spy on a fanatical desert prophet, and then to investigate an unschooled Galilean who is challenging their two-thousand-year-old religious order. He is intrigued with what he observes concerning Jesus, but it doesn't match with what he has been taught about the Messiah, nor does it impress the educated and elite in Jerusalem. They dismiss Jesus' work as deception and trickery.
Little does Jannaeus realize, that when he stumbles upon evidence of treachery at a high level, his life will be at risk. His turmoil intensifies as he has to juggle everything with his work in the family shipping business and his study to become a scribe. And if this isn't enough, he is entangled in an ongoing personal struggle that is likely to lead him away from the girl he deeply loves and is expected to marry.
Turnabout Spy is a piece of fiction that combines imagination, Gospel accounts, and historical events into an engaging and inspiring tale of espionage, suspense, love, politics, family relations, and biblical truth that holds attention from beginning to end.
