God has a plan for his children. But the children have a plan of their own. Matt Manser a San Francisco police department inspector is assigned to investigate the murder of a prominent biblical archaeologist. Matt doesn't know that his investigation will place him in the middle of an underground war between a group of progressive Christians called the Lulav, and a conservative Christian cooperative called the Order of the White Dove. Beleaguered in this conflict are Leo Borrel, the ex-military surviving life-partner of the murdered man, and Ondina Vargas, a secret White Dove operative. The White Dove's only mission is to keep secret the Dead Sea Scrolls, written by Jesus of Nazareth. The Lulav is out to make known the existence of the scrolls and expose the satanic influences over various biblical authors. Since 1947 the White Dove has been successful in keeping that secret, but the Lulav has a new ally. The truth may finally be within their grasp.
