Chosen by Suspense Magazine as a Best Book of 2014!
New York City is run by an ancient secret society. Members of this elite organization have two things in common: one of them is the law and the other is even more diabolical.
Marc Wilson is a jobless young attorney, once idealistic but now willing to bend a few rules to help his career. He regards himself as a half-Jewish atheist who is not averse to embracing new beliefs in order to advance a career based on deception. Unbelievably, he becomes a litigator at a prestigious international law firm, finds himself living in a luxury apartment, and enters into a romantic relationship with the boss’s daughter—but not without paying a heavy price.
What appears to the world as a laudable system of beliefs is, in reality, the opposite to members of an inner circle of egomaniacal schemers. Marc is caught up in a deadly conspiracy from which there may be no escape.
As he uncovers the mystical secrets which bind New York City’s powerful to each other, he becomes a pawn in a deadly struggle with far-reaching toxic consequences. As his journey takes him from Queens to Manhattan to Nuremberg, Germany, Marc is forced to face who he really is and what he is capable of doing.
