Okell Adventures

They crucified the wrong man, but what about the one that got away? A surprisingly candid view of the turmoil following the death of Jesus, as seen by a lucky but unrepentant eye witness. Why are accounts of Jesus' trial almost certainly wrong? Why if Mary Magdalen was so central to Jesus' life does she abruptly vanish from the story? Barabbas could have the answers. "Plausible and fascinating."

Fowler thinks he has things under control, but then the trouble really kicks off. Stuck on the moors in a snowstorm, outgunned and out manoeuvred, Fowler begins to wish that he was back in the navy.
