Behind the palm curtain

Author's name: Montaser Amin

The event was neither fleeting nor insignificant. Rather, it cast a heavy shadow over people's hearts and conversations, as they secretly relayed it and whispered about its details. Christ was crucified, then taken down a few hours later, but these were crucial hours that changed the course of history.
When the narratives are lost between faith and skepticism, the Roman Emperor orders his special envoy to remove the ambiguity. He searches deep into the souls of the witnesses, between the folds of words and the palm trees, seeking to uncover the truth of what happened. Between Alexandria, Rome, and Jerusalem, the novel sails through the waves of its intertwined stories, and the novelist, Muntaser Amin, takes us on a path filled with questions, a thorny journey through human doubts and faith.
Was there a doppelganger? Was the crucified one truly Christ? Between the faith that strengthens his feet and the doubt that ravages his certainty, the Roman envoy pursues the sun of Bethlehem, staring at its horizon like someone chasing the glow of truth. He races against time to complete his report, while his soul remains thirsty for an answer that will quench his thirst for certainty.
