A trap is being set that will get the assassin killed at worst or put in prison at best. From New York Times bestselling Thriller Award winner Vincent Zandri.

Can you pinpoint a moment or incident that sparked the idea for this book?

I was in Egypt researching a new Chase Baker Thriller novel a few weeks back and the idea for my Meta Man character to be transported back to the time of Christ’s crucifixion came to me.

A novel is such a major undertaking; there’s the writing of it, of course, then you’re spending months and months revising, polishing, and then promoting it. How did you know this was the book you wanted to spend the next couple of years on?

I only spend a few weeks writing a novel.

Were there any particular books, movies, or songs that were knocking around in your head while you were writing this one?

Maybe the Twilight Zone, but that’s about it.
