Jesus Jackson is a young adult mystery novel by James Ryan Daley, published by The Poisoned Pencil in October, 2014. The novel tells the story of Jonathan Stiles, a 14-year-old atheist who is coping with his first day at the fervently religious St. Soren's Academy when his older brother Ryan is found dead at the bottom of a ravine behind the school. As his world crumbles, Jonathan meets an eccentric stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jesus Christ, except for his white linen leisure suit and sparkling gold chains. Jesus Jackson, as he calls himself, offers to provide faith to Jonathan, and he also suggests that Ryan's death may not have been an accident after all.
