Dr.  Clotile Lejeune and her son, J.E., receive news her father, Thibodeaux Lejeune, died. When they arrive in Louisiana, her uncle, Sonny, tells her he was murdered. Her father leaves her a letter explaining about a clay jar that sat on his mantlepiece. He was in the army stationed in Tunisia when he and a friend, Bobby stumble upon a niche containing clay jars. There was an explosion and only Thibodeaux made it out alive with one jar. Having this jar is dangerous. There are people that do not want the information about the jar exposed and will not stop until they have the jar.

The story has a fast pace and there is a lot of action. The characters are somewhat developed but since this is the first in a series, they have time to evolve. It is also written in the third person point of view. Since this is a biblical mystery, this would be a good choice for anyone who enjoys Dan Brown’s books.
