About this title

From the Back Cover

"The Overseer is an exceptional debut thriller, refreshingly original, with a feel-your-pulse plot that warp speeds its way through the centuries. Jonathan Rabb writes with studied knowledge of his material. The characters are well-defined, the dialogue crisp, and the history a shake-and-stir mix of fact and fiction...a smooth blend of Ian Fleming and Umberto Eco."
--Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of Sleepers and Apaches

"The Overseer is a stunning accomplishment, a novel that works both as a smartly plotted, provocative novel of ideas and a taut, complex, thoroughly entertaining thriller reminiscent of early Robert Ludlum. Well-written, intelligent, with a unique concept...a richly satisfying literary debut."
--Larry Bond, author of The Enemy Within and Red Phoenix

"The Overseer is an intelligent, action-packed thriller, a highly original novel that pulls you in from the first intriguing pages and refuses to let up. A riveting piece of suspense fiction that feels chillingly real."
--Kyle Mills, author of Rising Phoenix

From the Inside Flap

t document ever written must be found.
And time is running out.

It has long been rumored in academic circles that a sixteenth-century monk named Eisenreich took Machiavelli several steps further, writing a masterplan for world domination so dangerous the Pope had him killed to suppress it. But Eisenreich's text, On Supremacy, survived. Some scholars even believed the Third Reich had a copy. But when the bullet-riddled body of a young girl is found in Montana and "Eisenreich" is her dying word, it becomes terrifyingly clear that not only is the document real--someone is planning to use this explosive piece of history in the late twentieth century.
        
This deadly document is at the heart of The Overseer, a chillingly authentic, compulsively readable thriller of global intrigue and political conspiracy that follows a desperate search for a fabled manuscript, one with frightening modern-day implications. Be
