Maxwell Odom, one of the nation's top crime-scene investigators, is in jerusalem delivering a keynote speech to the Association of Isreali Police. The ugliness his job has forced him to witness has darkened his soul and calloused his mind. He's become cynical and unpleasant.

According to his guide, the only way for Odom to return to his own time is by soving an historical crime--the conspiracy of the many to kill the One.
