By a twist of fate, a young Dutch scholar comes into possession of a dubious papyrus fragment. It's a letter, claiming to be from the apostle Paul, in which he divulges his true motives for forging the early Christian church. Scientific testing shows that the papyrus could be from the late first century. But is it authentic, or a forgery?

The PhD candidate, Susi Catta, is obsessed with trying to discover where the artifact came from. Her search takes her from Amsterdam to Mainz, Leuven, Rome, Paris, the island of Samos - and to the edge of death.
