Jerusalem as its background the story moves from the brutal life of a highwayman to the warmth of family and to the ultimate betrayal and a shattering revelation.********My father Richard Wallace Haw wrote the basic story of this book a long time ago. His story was obviously a work of love. Written after he had visited Israel the manuscript sat in a box for years. Its typewriter text faded and the paper curled with age. I loved my father. He was a great man. I went about publishing my novels and working fulltime. Long after his death I decided to rewrite his story. The language and syntax were so formal but the story was beautiful. I added my own touches changing enough to make it flowing and readable. I am immensely proud of The Malefactors and I believe that my father is too.Set in Biblical Palestine during the time of Christ. The Malefactors weaves the story of the two thieves Josias and Lucius that were crucified with Jesus. The life of Josias from his birth to the end brings you into the lives of incredible characters and drama. An intricately woven story of crime adventure treachery love and family gives a different perspective of the time when Jesus walked the earth. Historically and biblically accurate this is a remarkable work of historical fiction.#Bible #Christ #Jesus #Biblical #Love #Family #Palestine #Two Thieves #Thief #Jerusalem #Brutal #Betrayal #Revelation #Rome #Israel #Jews #Roman #Crucifixion #Historical #Suspense #Action #Adventure #Crime #Treachery #Procurator of Judea #Pilate #Tiberius #Pilate #Caesarea #Galilean #Golgotha #Galilee #Christian Fiction #ChristianAnne Haw Holt Ph.D. writing as A.
