A kidnapped judge. A grueling cross examination.

And the key to his rescue hidden in the most unlikely of places.


A thirty-five-year-old billionaire is about to die. And all his considerable wealth cannot prepare him to meet his Maker. But he has an idea that might: He will stage the ultimate reality show.
His minions round up a leading advocate for each of the world's major religions. The qualifications? Each person must be a powerful apologist for his or her faith-and terminally ill. The plan? Force them into the trial of their lives on a remote island, defending their faith against all challenges. The rules? Winners gain a new benefactor and, quite literally, a new lease on life. Losers face an early grave.

A crusty old judge named Oliver Finney, deathly sick with lung cancer, has been "chosen" to defend Christianity. His rescue depends on the ability of his former law clerk, Nikki Moreno, to decipher clues about his whereabouts that he smuggles over the Internet.

Nikki soon discovers the key to understanding the clues is hidden in a popular theology book that Finney wrote, entitled The Cross Examination of Jesus Christ. She begins her race against the clock-struggling to comprehend the mysteries contained in the ancient words of Christ before her former boss dies defending them.

Bestselling author Randy Singer offers an innovative new suspense thriller that will have you scrambling with Nikki to track down and decipher the clues-and come away a better advocate for your faith.
