Praise for 30 Pieces of Silver
"Carolyn McCray's 30 PIECES OF SILVER proves that Dan Brown's crown is up for grabs. Part minefield and all roller-coaster ride, here is a story as controversial as it is thriller. Hunker down for a long night because once you start this book you won't be putting it down."

"This novel messed with my head, plain and simple."
 
John Hopkin - Book Reviewer, Your Need to Read
“…I have high praises and respect for Carolyn and her craft. She is an effective and masterful storyteller to make me feel this way - unsettled and questioning… I am still giving her a place in my bookshelf next to two of my favorite authors - Steve Berry and James Rollins.”

Overview of 30 PIECES OF SILVER...

John the Baptist's bones inscribed in ancient Greek.
A dark secret carried from the foot of the crucifixion.
Can science solve the world's greatest mystery?
More praise... 
“From the opening explosion at the base of the Eiffel Tower uncovering a trove of skeletons to the final scenes throughout Italy, the story involves a search for the remains of Jesus. Rebecca Monroe is "saved" from the clutches of a snake by Sgt. Brandt and his special ops team deep in the Ecuadorian jungle... This begins a rollercoaster ride that is intertwined with an equally interesting tale of Jesus and Judas and their travels and trials.”
 
Mr. Neil -- Thrillers Rock Twitter

Book Description

Publication Date: May 12, 2000
Riveting . . . While I Was Gone [celebrates] what is impulsive in human nature.”
–The New York Times

“Miller weaves her themes of secrecy, betrayal, and forgiveness into a narrative that shines.”
–Time


Jo Becker has every reason to be content. She has three dynamic daughters, a loving marriage, and a rewarding career. But she feels a sense of unease. Then an old housemate reappears, sending Jo back to a distant past when she lived in a communal house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Drawn deeper into her memories of that fateful summer in 1968, Jo begins to obsess about the person she once was. As she is pulled farther from her present life, her husband, and her world, Jo struggles against becoming enveloped by her past and its dark secret.


“[While I Was Gone] swoops gracefully between the past and the present, between a woman’s complex feelings about her husband and her equally complex fantasies–and fears–about another man. . . . [Miller writes] well about the trials of faith.”
–The New York Times Book Review

“Quietly gripping . . . Jo shines steadily as the flawed and thoroughly modern heroine. As in her 1986 novel, The Good Mother, Miller shows how impulses can fracture the family.”
–USA Today

“Marvelous . . . poignant . . . powerful.”
–Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer
