For newly promoted Detective Sergeant Rachael Goodfellow, the decapitated body of a young man discovered in an ancient watermill provides an opportunity to get stuck into her first murder case under the watchful eye of the highly experienced leading officer, Detective Inspector Daniel Towgood. The case proves to be intractable and muddled with a trivial misdemeanour, with consequent ridicule in the media and the wrath of the Chief Superintendent. At the same time, Rachael is also having to deal with family problems, and the unwelcome reappearance of a former colleague with whom she had a brief, but unsatisfactory relationship. When all seems hopeless, an abandoned car provides a lucky break which reopens the case. As the identity of the victim becomes known, Goodfellow and Towgood are drawn to some surprising locations - and danger, as the murderer senses the net closing in. The case is finally solved in the month of December to the sound of seasonal carols, so it is not a merry Christmas for the killer, as justice is finally served.

Because Ari likes you. And you haven't told him you're Messianic. Ari is a theoretical physicist who wrote some crazy paper on time travel. Somehow, an experimental physicist, Damien West, thought it was a good idea.Damien came all the way from the US to try to build a wormhole to test Ari's crazy theory.

Damien wants to go back in time and kill the apostle Paul. Somehow, Damien gets the wormhole working, sort of.Somehow, he tricks you into going through the wormhole, without telling you where you're going, or when.

Where violating the rules could get you killed. Back in the lab, Damien isn't worried about you. He packs his gun, sets a timer to shut down the wormhole, and walks through into ancient Jerusalem. If he calculated the dates right, he'll be lining up the apostle Paul in his gunsights next Tuesday. And you can't stop him, even if you figure out what he's up to.There's a loose cannon in this picture.Ari Kazan. The guy who has a weird, crazy, stupid crush on you.The guy who's mad at you for not telling him you're a Messianic.The guy who just found out Damien West has made a fool of him.

Nazareth has been cruel to my mother, more cruel than any village ever was. All the village says that my blood father is not the man who married my mother. They have shamed her on the matter all my life.Every woman asks which man of the village is my blood father. Every man scowls and says he was not the one my mother seduced. My mother will not tell who is my blood father. My mother will not speak on the matter. My mother bears her shame in silence.Some righteous man, a prophet, said a word over me when I was a babe in arms. He told how I will redeem Israel when I grow to be a man.Now I have grown to be a man, but I do not know how to redeem Israel. The scriptures do not explain the matter. My people say that the man who redeems Israel must take up the sword and throw off our enemy, Rome, which we call the Great Satan. My family says I must take up the sword.Only I am no man of the sword. I wish with all my heart to redeem Israel, but HaShem, the God of our fathers, must tell me how. Lately, there came a new prophet to Israel, who immerses for repentance at the river Jordan.I went to ask the prophet how I should redeem Israel.He said I am to smite the four Powers.I asked what are the four Powers.He could not say, but he said HaShem will reveal the matter to me. I wish HaShem will reveal the matter, only I am not a prophet. Not yet.But I will be.Here is what I know. Every hour of every day, I feel the Presence of HaShem. I do not know why I should feel the Presence always. My mother does not. My village does not. Even the prophet of HaShem does not.I think the Presence will teach me the way to redeem Israel.But I am afraid to redeem Israel. To redeem Israel is to leave my mother to the scorn of the village.The rage of the village. My mother begs and cries on me to make a justice for her. To make a justice on the village. I do not know how to make a justice on the village. I do not know how to redeem Israel. But HaShem will show me the way. I will learn how to be a prophet of HaShem. I will learn how to redeem Israel.I will learn how to make a justice for my mother. I will smite the first Power.Or I will die in the trying.
