Rory Justice leads a relatively normal life as a conservative, middle-aged ad agency account executive. He doesn't like to rock the boat, but that s just what happens when his retired FBI agent father, on his deathbed, asks Rory to hand-deliver a sealed letter to the Las Vegas sheriff s department. The letter details plans by an Islamic State mafia to destroy the city with an underground nuclear bomb. Instead, Rory tries to run from his dad s request by jumping onto a cruise ship, only to find himself entangled in a series of horrific misfortunes that leave him with little choice but to try to help save this city of sin. A modern-day story based on the Bible s Book of Jonah, The Runaway Prophet reminds us that we can try to run from God's call but we can't hide, and that sometimes, by rescuing other people, God rescues us in the process.
