Ein Waffenfreak in Montana, ein Zuhälter in New York, ein Computergenie in Indien – alle ermordet, alle mit einem mysteriösen Zeichen versehen. Gibt es ein Geheimnis, das sie verbindet? Will Monroe, junger Starjournalist bei der New York Times, wittert die Superstory. Die Spur führt zum Geheimwissen der Kabbala und zu einer uralten Prophezeiung vom Ende der Welt. Doch plötzlich wird Wills Frau entführt. Und für Will beginnt ein Wettlauf um Leben und Tod.

From AudioFile

Dennis Boutsikaris relates a story of dark intrigue with stylish articulation of diverse characters around the world, using distinct Jewish accents and lyrical tones to set characters apart. For Will Monroe, stories in the NEW YORK TIMES of righteous men being murdered worldwide are at first simply curious. When his pregnant wife is kidnapped, it becomes personal. Dennis Boutsikaris's delivery conveys a sense of mystery and terror that ratchets up the tension. A relentless chase begins that involves New York's Hassidic community, strange Kabbalah experts, and the identity of The Apostle, only whispered about in legends. Boutsikaris excels, yet he cannot overcome Monroe's unsympathetic character and a plot filled with unlikely coincidences.
