The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the
earth. . . . A teenage computer prodigy is mortally strangled in Mumbai. A
far-right extremist is killed in a remote cabin in the Pacific Northwest. A
wealthy businessman is murdered in Thailand. A pimp in Brooklyn is found
stabbed to death and mysteriously covered by a brown shroud. What connects the
victims is an ancient prophecy that leads to the end of the world, and it's up
to Will Monroe, a fledgling reporter at the New York Times, to stop it. But
Monroe's investigation quickly makes him some shadowy enemies, who kidnap his
wife and hold her hostage in Crown Heights. Desperate to find the link between
the killings and to save his wife, he enlists his college sweetheart, TC, an
eccentric artist and Kabbalah expert. As the death toll rises, they follow a
trail of clues that seems to lead inexorably to a set of ancient texts
containing a prophecy that promises to save the world-or to destroy it. What
will happen when the one secret that has kept the world safe for thousands of
years is revealed to all? In The Righteous Men, a blistering thriller filled
with mystery, romance, and suspense, Sam Bourne takes readers deep into the
hidden worlds of fundamentalist religion, mysticism, and biblical prophecies.
This is a visionary tale that is as frightening as it is entertaining. Readers
won't stop turning the pages until the very end.
The Curmudgeon has spoken!
