Sodom: A Modern Biblical Tale
Can one detective save a doomed city?
God intends to smite the wicked town of Sodom. But Abe strikes a if ten good people can be found, the smiting will be called off.
Enter Jimmy Spake, an intrepid private investigator hired by God to find ten righteous men or women.
The town seems full of decent folk from all walks of a bar owner, a billionaire, an author, a hairdresser, a fire chief, a judge — even a former U.S. president.
Jimmy has little trouble locating paragons of morality as he ambles through Sodom, chatting with locals and pointing his phone (loaded with a divine app) in search of those two blessed Goodness Ascertained.
And the list of good people grows — after all, Sodom is the perfect small-town USA.
Or so it would seem.
The clock is ticking. Is there enough good left in the town?
Sodom — a bold reimagining by award-winning scientist and author Moshe Sipper — is perfect for readers who relish adventure, moral depth, and ancient stories with modern-day resonance.
The past is never truly past — it just wears a new face.

This short story of a modern day retelling of Sodom & Gomorrah was good. The writing was good, not great. I did enjoy the book though. It was a quick read and was easy to follow along with. I enjoyed that there was not a ton of detail as it didn’t seem to add or take away from the original in the Bible. The modern twist was a fun aspect and I did enjoy some of the witty banter between characters.

It started out ok, but the ending was not good at all (imo).
