Thriller Legal | Mystery Historical | Historical

At the trial of Christ, Theophilus, brilliant young assessore raised in the Roman aristocracy, stands behind Pontius Pilate and whispers, “Offer to release Barabbas.” The strategy backfires, and Theophilus never forgets the sight of an innocent man unjustly suffering the worst of all possible deaths—Roman crucifixion.

Three decades later, Theophilus has proven himself in the legal ranks of the Roman Empire. He has survived the insane rule of Caligula and has weathered the cruel tyrant’s quest to control the woman he loves. He has endured the mindless violence of the gladiator games and the backstabbing intrigue of the treason trials.

Now he must face another evil Caesar, defending the man Paul in Nero’s deranged court. Can Theophilus mount a defense that will keep another innocent man from execution?

The advocate’s first trial altered the course of history. His last will change the fate of an empire.

Re: The Advocate

After reading your posting, and knowing your background,
it's obvious that you did your research for writing this
book. Although not for everyone, but for mostly everyone,
I'm sure it will make quite an interesting read. I feel
almost a little sacrilegious to want to read a book of this
caliber, but would like to read your spin on the trial. It
doesn't mean I have to agree, but I'm sure that you have
many valid points. Thank you for having the guts to take on
such a subject, when the world has been taking the opposite
viewpoint when it comes to religion - especially
Christianity. That part makes me sad, and it needs to be
kept in the mainstream, where it can remain strong.

I think it would be amazing to see the coliseum ruins!!!

This is a book I would like to read.
I recently read "The Queens' Handmaid" by Tracey Higley and
the book begins in 39 BC. A lot of Biblical history and a
great read.
I was able to see Pope John Paul one time and what an
experience. I was in the plaza and he was far away but still
wonderful.
I have an idea as a lawyer mind your ideas would be
different than most people's minds.
