Synopsis

Sam Bourne is the pseudonym of Jonathan Freedland, an award-winning British journalist and author who writes for the Guardian and the London Evening Standard. He was named by Financial Times as one of the world's most influential commentators. Now he focuses his exceptional talents on a superb thriller that combines ancient texts, contemporary clues, and futuristic prophecies. Murders are occurring in widely separated areas of the globe. A pimp, an extremist, a computer wizard-each corpse is posed with reverence and wrapped in a purple robe. The common denominator is that each had performed an unexpected act of kindness. Will Monroe, a young New York Times reporter senses that these deaths could lead to a big story. After he is warned to drop his investigation, his wife is kidnapped. The search for her will lead Will to a secret sect that has vowed to hasten the Rapture. Joining the camp of The Da Vinci Code, The Righteous Men offers an intricate tapestry of truth and illusion.
