The Redemption: From the Author of The Exorcist

by WilliamPeterBlatty (Author)

Synopsis

THE REDEMPTION opens in the world's most oppressive and isolated totalitarian state: Albania in the 1970s. A prisoner suspected of being an enemy agent is held by state security. An unsettling presence, he maintains an eerie silence though subjected to unimaginable torture. He escapes - and on the way to freedom, completes a mysterious mission. The prisoner is Dimiter, the American 'agent from hell'. The scene shifts to Jerusalem, focusing on Hadassah Hospital and a cast of unusual characters. All become enmeshed in a series of baffling, inexplicable deaths, until events explode in a surprising climax.

Told with unrelenting pace, THE REDEMPTION's compelling, page-turning narrative is haunted by the search for faith and the truths of the human condition.

Media Reviews
The sense of ominous mystery that lasts until the final few pages will certainly keep people glued to it * Irish Independent *
THE REDEMPTION is a cracker * SFX *
Blatty expertly combines the mundane with the mystical, drawing together the diverse plot-lines in a page-turning spy-thriller which . . . keeps the reader cheering for the characters to the last page * Guardian *
The atmosphere is redolent of one of John le Carre's cold-war thrillers. . .Blatty's prose is stark, a minimalist style that adds momentum to the propulsive plot. . .a haunting tale that remains thought-provoking long after the final revelation * IRISH TIMES *
