The Lost Years

This novel taps our fascination with the explosive power of recently rediscovered ancient texts and dark conspiracies. Protagonist Mariah Lyons’s introduction to these engulfing mysteries is a letter written by Dr. Richard Callahan, her now-deceased biblical scholar father. It contains a translation from a 2,000-year-old papyrus that appears to be a letter from Jesus himself. This monumental discovery leads to other, more personal revelations: Was her father murdered for this invaluable document? Is her own life in danger because of what she now knows? One of Clark’s best mysteries in years.
