Plot summary
Clavius serves as a tribune of Legio X Fretensis in Judea, where he puts down an insurrection led by Barabbas and oversees the crucifixion of Yeshua. Soldiers are posted at the tomb, and the body goes missing; the guards say Yeshua's followers took it so that he would appear to have risen. Pontius Pilate, fearing an uprising in Jerusalem with the Emperor due to arrive, orders Clavius to locate the body. With his aide Lucius, Clavius questions people who claim to have seen Yeshua since the crucifixion. The accounts grow harder to believe, and the followers he presses speak in riddles and refuse to give up one another, while the inquiry stirs unease among Romans and Hebrews alike.
