The Letters of Paul A. Bryant Betsill

What does a box full of third century parchments, the untimely death of a professor of ancient history, and a rogue F. B. I. agent have in common? It is a puzzle Dr. Jackie Macklin and her limerick writing husband, Harland or Harley to his friends, try to solve while staying ahead of the agent in their RV Motor-Home. With Dr. Macklin?s understanding of the Classical Latin and Harland?s sketchy knowledge of biblical history, the pair builds their case that the papers were the personal journals of a citizen of Rome, born a Jew in Antioch in the first century, became the political enemy of the Emperor Nero and was imprisoned on the island of Malta until he died.
