Pre-Order – The Search for Ezekiel by John De Lorenzi
Price range: $9.95 through $29.95
A single fraudulent charge changes everything.
When a mysterious airline ticket appears on Matt Rosso’s credit card, it should be nothing more than an inconvenience — a few phone calls, a cancelled transaction, life back to normal. Instead, it leaves behind a name: Ezekiel Azuta.
For reasons Matt can’t fully explain, that name refuses to let him go.
Stuck between a safe life and a growing sense of unease, Matt begins to feel the weight of what he’s been avoiding — risk, purpose, and the possibility that he has been living far too carefully. What starts as curiosity becomes fixation, and fixation becomes a plan: travel to West Africa and confront the man who unknowingly disrupted his life.
As Matt moves farther from home, certainty gives way to doubt, humour collides with fear, and the line between justice and self-discovery begins to blur. Along the way, he is forced to reckon with relationships left unresolved, cultures he barely understands, and the unsettling realization that the search for Ezekiel may really be a search for himself.
The Search for Ezekiel is a sharp, introspective novel about modern restlessness, the quiet danger of complacency, and the moment when a person decides — perhaps too late, perhaps just in time — to step into the unknown.
What happens when a stolen credit card becomes a reason to risk everything?
When Matt Rosso, a cautious Canadian academic, discovers a mysterious international flight charged to his credit card, he expects a routine fraud investigation and a quick resolution. Instead, a name emerges — Ezekiel Azuta — and with it, a strange, unsettling pull that refuses to let him go.
What begins as a clerical error spirals into an obsession. Haunted by a quiet dissatisfaction he can’t quite name, Matt makes an impulsive decision that defies logic and comfort: he will travel to West Africa, to the Republic of Benin, to search for the man who never boarded the flight.
Along the way, Matt’s journey becomes far more than a pursuit of a faceless fraudster. It forces him to confront stalled ambition, fractured relationships, cultural misunderstanding, and the uneasy line between curiosity and recklessness. Told through sharp dialogue, dry humour, and deeply introspective prose, The Search for Ezekiel explores modern disconnection, moral responsibility, and the universal urge to break free from a life lived too safely.
Blending literary fiction with elements of travel narrative and psychological drama, this novel asks a simple but dangerous question:
What if the thing you’re running from is yourself — and the only way forward is straight into the unknown?
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven stories, global settings, and thoughtful examinations of risk, purpose, and identity.
