A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

'In two weeks the killing begins...'
Were those the crazed words of a ranting millennial fundamentalist? Or a very real warning that the world governments have seen too late?
In the standard uniform of blue denim shirt and jeans, young journalist Kirstan Cooper succumbs to the charms of cult leader David Norton. For nine years Norton and his sect have been dedicated to preparing the world for Christ's Second Coming. Yet to the authorities they pose no security risk whatsoever.
However, alerted by Kirstan's disappearance, researcher Jane Carlucci begins to piece together some disturbing facts about the Fellowship. And in her wilder moments she can't help interpreting some recent world disasters - outbreaks of botulism, lethally contaminated baby milk, random bomb attacks - as possible signs of the Eighth Scroll, a controversial document foretelling Christ's return, and seen by many as a fake.
Endangered by her own investigations, with the aid of journalist Sam Ferryman Jane goes into hiding - her only safe sanctuary the Fellowship itself. And now, in a move that threatens the safety of millions, the countdown to the moment Norton has been waiting for has begun...
