One of the great dramas of the biblical era is brought to thrilling, new life in this epic novel told from the unique perspective of Judas Iscariot himself. This is the story of Judas the myth, condemned by Dante to the most terrifying circle of Hell; Judas the man, the son of wealth and power who fought to suppress the lusts of the flesh and the sin of pride to become one of the 12 original disciples of Jesus Christ; and Judas the apostle, victim of a diabolical lie, history's arch-traitor, who sold his Lord for 30 pieces of silver, and sealed his fate with a kiss.

In questa nuova avventura di Giambattista Bugatti, il boia papalino noto come Mastro Titta, la scenografia è ancora quella di una Roma ottocentesca, a pochi passi dall'annessione al nascente Regno d’Italia. Siamo nel 1859: la scomparsa di un bambino ebreo, figlio di un ufficiale francese, fa temere il suo rapimento da parte della balia, che lo avrebbe sottoposto ad un battesimo forzato per poi crescerlo nel cattolicesimo. Ma il ritrovamento dei cadaveri, sia del bambino che della nutrice, sembra complicare notevolmente la situazione.
