Rivka Meyers is an archeologist working a dig in Israel for the summer. Rivka has been in graduate school at Berkeley the last three years, but this summer she's taking a break from everything. Especially her battles about religion. Rivka is a Messianic Jew. She has to defend her religion from Christians and Jews alike. When Rivka unearths part of a mosaic, it could turn out to be the biggest find on the dig site.
Ari Kazan is a physicist. His cousin Dov works on the dig with Rivka. Dov and Rivka are trying to fix Ari up with another woman working on the dig. Ari is working on a time machine, or as he would put it a closed timelike loop. Ari is the theorist and Damien West is the experimentalist on their team. The two of them almost have it working. It turns out, more than almost.
Damien considers Christianity to be a plague. His plan is to use the time machine to go back and murder the apostle Paul to keep Christianity from ever starting. Rivka and Ari get caught up in his plot. The adventure of traveling to a time before Christians and modern Jews even existed is fascinating. The suspense as Rivka tries to stop Damien's plot is heart stopping. Even though Ari claims it's impossible to change the past, Rivka and he may have to make sure it comes out the way it should. The biblical and archeological references are just icing on the cake. Very highly recommended.

Transgression - R.S. Ingermanson
Transgression is the first novel in the City of God series. This book is free for the kindle. This story is a time-travel murder mystery, but the murder hasn't happened yet, even though it may happen thousands of years ago. This is a fascinating book.
