Tosca Lee is a New York Times best-selling author who pens fiction fueled by supple prose and meticulous research. In Iscariot, Lee offers a gripping — and ultimately thought provoking — fictional account of the life of Judas Iscariot. Indelibly marked with the stain of betrayal, Judas at first believed that Jesus would help the Jews overthrow Roman rule. But Jesus envisioned an entirely different path, one that Judas could not follow.
