Pregnant fiancée. In a coma. Now missing.
Not at all what he imagined an engagement should be. To make matters worse, he wasn’t the father. Couldn’t be.
Life had thrown Adam Garrett curveballs before. God seemed to have deserted him when high school sweetheart Jill died of leukemia at the tender age of nineteen. He hadn’t dated anyone since, and arguments with God were frequent.
Now a second-year archaeology professor at a major university in Texas, research leads him to a cave on a tiny island near Italy where he recovers an old box left there by Pontius Pilate.
Cell biologist Dr. Mary Walsh agrees to help analyze the box and the astonishing artifacts it contains. When she discovers they’re more than simple religious relics, science intersects with theology in a deeply captivating way.
Will their findings revolutionize medical science, or destroy them both?
