A searing psychological thriller set in pre-9/11 Brooklyn in
which a family’s dark history and an estranged son’s attempt
to find meaning and purpose converge. Matthew Stone has inherited a troubling legacy: a gangster
grandfather and a distant father—who is also a disgraced
judge. After his father’s death, Matthew is a young man
alone. He turns to his father’s beloved books for comfort,
perceiving within them guidance that leads him to connect
with a group of religious extremists. As Matthew immerses
himself in this unfamiliar world, the FBI seeks his
assistance to foil the group’s violent plot. Caught between
these powerful forces, haunted by losses past and present,
and desperate for redemption, Matthew charts a course of
increasing peril—for himself and for everyone around him. From the author of The Ascent of Eli Israel and There is No
Other, The Book of Stone examines the evolution of the
terrorist mentality and the complexities of religious
extremism, as well as how easily a vulnerable mind can be
exploited for dark purposes. Lyrical and incendiary, The
Book of Stone is a masterfully crafted novel that reveals
the ambiguities of “good” and “evil”.
