Narrative Concering Books The Last Good Man (Niels Bentzon #1)

In Jewish scripture, there is a legend: There are thirty-six righteous people on earth. The thirty-six protect us. Without them, humanity would perish. But the thirty-six do not know they are the chosen ones.

In Beijing, a monk collapses in his chamber, dead. A fiery mark—a tattoo? a burn?—spreads across his back and down his spine. In Mumbai, a beloved economist, a man who served the poor, dies suddenly. His corpse reveals the same symbol. Similar deaths are reported around the world—the victims all humanitarians, all with the same death mark. In Venice, an enterprising Italian policeman links the deaths, tracing the evidence. Who is killing good people around the world?

In Copenhagen, police are preparing for a world climate summit when they receive the Interpol alert. The task falls to veteran detective Niels Bentzon: Find the “good people” of Denmark and warn them. But Bentzon is a man who is trained to see the worst in humanity, not the good. One by one, people are crossed off his list. He senses their secrets and wrongdoings.

Just as Bentzon is ready to give up, he meets Hannah Lund, a brilliant astrophysicist mourning the death of her son and the implosion of her marriage. With Hannah’s help, Bentzon begins to piece together the puzzle of these far-flung deaths. A pattern emerges. It is, they realize, a perfectly executed plan of murder. There have been thirty-four deaths—two more to come if the legend is true. According to the pattern, Bentzon and Hannah can predict the time and place of the final two murders. The deaths will occur in Venice and Copenhagen. And the time is now.

Write-Up Containing Books The Last Good Man (Niels Bentzon #1)

*SPOILER*I didn't quite get this book. It was well-written and filled with suspense. The fact that (view spoiler)[there isn't a real bad guy but God or some divine evil power that kills the people threw me. For some reason, 36 righteous men are being killed, but I didn't really get why. (hide spoiler)]There is a lot of religious philosophy going on, something I didn't expect.

Certainly not my cup of tea...

According to the Talmud, thirty-six righteous people exist on earth and if they all die, so does humanity. Now, people are dying all over the world with strange marks on their backs and it's up to a Danish policeman named Niels Bentzon to find out why. There have been thirty-four deaths already. Can Niels save the last two good men and save the world?First off, I received this ARC from Scribner in exchange for reviewing it. This did not influence my opinion in the least. To be honest, The Last

A good book for a cold day - enjoy!

This book reads like a who-dunnit but of the ethereal kind where the question of who becomes the question of what is committing these murders. I enjoyed the fast paced tempo of the book and the metaphysical allusions - I use this word as from reading other reviews it is clear that not everyone understands the fullness of the narrative I appreciated the insertion that spirituality and science are closer cousins than may be commonly understood. Perhaps I am alone in thinking this but, and without

This is the second book that Ive now read about this Jewish myth about the 36 good people. In both books, the people who were being killed were of questionable character and so the whole premise of the story cannot hold up. The very foundation of the story isnt built correctly because of this and so the story itself crumbles. This book was written much better than the other story though{The Torah Code}. This story was actually quite interesting until part 2 and than it just completely fell apart

I needed to stop everything I was doing to finish this book! The premise of the book is based on scripture and the need for there to be 36 righteous people in the world. There have been mysterious deaths all having what appears to be a tattoo on their back. Discovering this mystery, figuring out what does it mean to be righteous, the characters saving each other all made it fascinating.
