The Temple Mount Heist, Part I - A novel of Israel and Rome

Readers will delight at this wacky and wicked comedic adventure story set amidst the grandeur and cultural clash that was Israel’s City of Gold in the last times of Jerusalem’s Temple.

A novel, in which, in the Jewish year 3797 (a date that two thousand years later would be known as 36 CE), an audacious and delusionary Temple Heist is conceived in Jerusalem for the purposes of Spiritual Growth, Divine Profit, and Eternal Revenge. From two thousand years later, the senior players in the Passion, long dead, watch and kibitz about the action in Jerusalem, while, underfoot, a uniquely unqualified commentator adds undeodorized footnotes in real time. Meanwhile, the Heist Crew and a Logistics Staff are acquired by Haphazard Methods, and these Assorted Personas arrive in Jerusalem. The Heisters—along with several Uninvited Guests—gather at a Dubious Edifice and acquaint themselves with One Another and Herod’s treasure-laden Temple Mount. A Very Important Romance is rekindled, Interpersonal Friction becomes evident, and the plotting of the Heist of the Century (The 1st Century, that is) begins.
