A thrilling debut from a new Danish author duo that walks the line between Stieg Larsson and Sam Bourne. According to Jewish scripture, there are thirty-six righteous people on earth. Without them, humanity would perish. In Beijing, a monk collapses. A fiery mark has spread across his back. In Mumbai, a man who served the poor dies suddenly. His body shows the same mark. Similar deaths are reported in cities around the world - the victims all humanitarians, all with the same death mark are these the 36 good people?
