William Barrow (aka Judas Iscariot) is faced with one of the most important decisions of his two-thousand-year stay on Earth. Should he leave well enough alone and seek a quiet retirement, having retrieved the first twenty-eight of the original thirty coins of silver paid to him for betraying Jesus Christ? Or should he press on to recover the last two shekels and find out if it is enough to redeem his soul before Almighty God?

In this third installment of The Judas Chronicles, William Barrow (AKA Judas Iscariot) is faced with recovering the silver coin he dreads above all others. Known as the “Singing Coin” among the ancients, this shekel was initially lost long ago…on the very night of Jesus Christ’s arrest in Jerusalem. Hoping to save it for last, until after the other twenty-nine coins are recovered, Viktor Kaslow’s recent designs for the coin thwart William’s plan.

The man originally known as Judas Iscariot is on a mission to recover 30 silver shekels once paid to him for his ultimate betrayal. Twenty-two coins have been recovered, leaving just eight to go. But when his Russian nemesis, Viktor Kaslow, also becomes immortal, the stakes are immediately raised.

William Barrow carries a dark secret. A very dark secret. An archivist for the Smithsonian Institute and a part-time operative for the CIA, no one would ever suspect the handsome "30-ish" William is the most reviled human being ever to walk the Earth. His infectious warmth and sense of humor make such an assertion especially hard to believe. But long ago, William Barrow had another name…one that is synonymous with shame and betrayal: Judas Iscariot.

Free of the threat of Viktor Kaslow, William Barrow (a.k.a. Judas Iscariot) is tantalizingly close to finally having the life he has dreamed of with Beatrice and Alistair.

Hailing from the older kingdoms of Europe, this new threat once gained notoriety as the cruelest tyrant in recorded history: Vlad Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler.

William Barrow (aka Judas Iscariot) has moved on to the afterlife. However, the lingering curses from the ‘Thirty Blood Coins’ continue to be a scourge against mankind. Roderick Cooley, Judas’s Druid companion for the past eighteen hundred years, can’t ignore the injustices that flourish as a result.

When Gabe’s partner, Alex, takes a turn towards the good guys, it doesn’t mean life in The Nine gets better for him.
