Saint John wrote the apocalyptic Book of Revelation over 1900 years ago in a cave on Greeceโs eastern Aegean island of Patmos. When a revered monk from that holy islandโs thousand year-old monastery is murdered in Patmosโ town square during Easter Week, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of Greeceโs Twenty-First Century Special Crimes Division is called upon to find the killer before all hell breaks looseโฆin a manner of speaking. Andreasโ impolitic search for answers brings him face-to-face with a scandal haunting the worldโs oldest surviving monastic community.
On the pristine Aegean peninsula of Mount Athos, isolated from the rest of humanity, twenty monasteries sit protecting the secrets of Byzantium amid a way of life virtually unchanged for more than 1500 years. But today this sacred refuge harbors modern international intrigues that threaten to destroy the very heart of the Churchโฆin a matter of days.
