Saint John wrote the apocalyptic Book of Revelation over 1,900 years ago in a cave on GreeceтАЩs eastern Aegean island of Patmos. But now there has been a murder. A revered monk from that holy islandтАЩs thousand-year-old monastery is murdered in PatmosтАЩ town square during Easter week. Called in on the matter is Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of GreeceтАЩs Special Crimes Division. Kaldis must find the killer before all hell breaks looseтАФin a manner of speaking.
KaldisтАЩ impolitic search for answers brings him face-to-face with a scandal haunting the worldтАЩs 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 1,500 years. But today this sacred refuge harbors modern international intrigues that threaten to destroy the very heart of the ChurchтАФin a matter of days.
