Broken Cross

Priest. Scholar. Fugitive. Tom Lache never imagined fleeing through Cappadocia, but now he’s running for his life. He’s wanted for the murder of a brilliant Muslim archaeologist, whose discovery could shatter Christianity. His only ally is Rachel Goldman, a New York Times reporter and rabbi’s daughter.

Tom must decipher the Gospel of Longinus, an ancient text stating that Christ planned and survived his crucifixion. He faces the unthinkable dilemma—is his faith based on a lie, or will a lie destroy his faith?

Tom and Rachel navigate duplicity, shifting alliances, and secret agendas as each revelation draws them further into a conspiracy that would change the world forever. From ancient caves to modern-day laboratories, every step is more treacherous than the last. Pursued by the police, assassins, and the Vatican’s enigmatic spymaster, Tom must confront not only an elaborate conspiracy but also a dark secret from his own past. Racing against time, he must prove his innocence and expose the truth behind the gospel before it’s too late.

Broken Cross is a heart-pounding story of faith, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of the truth, set in an exotic locale where ancient history collides with a modern-day conspiracy.
