In Curse of the Coins, when a professor and his team of college students explore the basement of an old burned-out church, they discover artifacts, including a leather pouch filled with silver Roman coins from the time of Jesus Christ - there are 30 of them.

When the professor is unable to continue the research, the students, who are left in charge of the find, wonder if they are the same coins paid to Judas Iscariot for the capture of Jesus. The first squabble between the students begins when Robert wants to sell the coins, and Sheila argues that they belong to the church or should be in a museum.

The other students also disagree about what to do with the coins. It soon becomes clear that bad things happen to anyone who handles the coins - or separates one coin from the others. When several of the coins go missing from the leather pouch, the students fall prey to the coins' curse of greed - and worse - that seems to befall whoever touches them. Or covets them.

As the evil power of the coins courses through them, someone flees with the pouch of the remaining coins. As the competition heats up for recovery and possession of the cursed coins, all hell breaks loose when they rush to intercept the thief before the coins are lost. Forever.

The clock is ticking on the recovery of the cursed coins in this suspenseful, fast-paced standalone adventure thriller, which springs from the Biblical account of the 30 pieces of silver that Judas Iscariot received for the betrayal of Jesus Christ.

But even if they recover the coins before it's too late, what if they, too, succumb to the temptation of the cursed coins of Judas? And, will it be their last temptation?
