Q - Paul Nigro

Goodreads 3.22

In 70 A.D., Ezra, a scribe, who was a witness to the life and teachings of Jesus, leaves his notes -- now called Q -- in the safekeeping of the Qumran Community. He once asked Jesus if he could become one of the Twelve -- but was turned down. Q is hard to understand -- and might just might raise as many questions of faith as it answers. A group of men, the Society of St. Matthew, determine that Q must be hidden from the world until it is better understood.But the Society is betrayed by one of its own members, and Q falls into the hands of a billionaire media mogul who plans to use Q as a tool to undermine confidence in Christian scripture and faith -- an act that he believes will be his singular contribution to the world.

The Society sends Jeremy Croft, who has the aristocratic bearing of an English Lord but who is actually a petty criminal, to steal Q back from this media baron. When Gigi Vaughn, a seminary student and a volunteer at a homeless shelter in Ft. Worth, Texas, discovers Croft injured in the alley behind the shelter, she, too, is drawn into a dangerous web of violence and intrigue.

Only two questions remain: Who will ultimately get their hands on Q? And what does it mean to millions of people of faith?
