Giacomo and his wife are thrilled to receive a hint of what Jesus might have done during his missing eighteen years. But once they cross the Tibetan border, they find themselves being followed. Although Giacomo's true mission is unknown to his wife, it isn't long before his role as a sleeper Italian spy is affecting their every move. Join Giacomo as he seeks to unravel the mystery of Jesus's lost years, protect his true identity and prevent a nuclear war that could lead to the end of the world in The Karma Killers.
