The Righteous Men

Two murders at opposite ends of America, one in the backstreets of New York, the other in the backwoods of Montana. A series of killings in every corner of the globe, from the crowded slums of India to the pristine beaches of Cape Town. There can't possibly be a connection. That's the instinct of Will Monroe, a young, British-born reporter on The New York Times -until the morning his beautiful wife Beth is kidnapped. Holding her are men who seem ready to kill without hesitation. Desperate, Will follows a trail that leads to a mysterious sect right on his own doorstep -fervent followers of mankind's oldest faith. He will have to break through multiple layers of mysticism and ancient prophecy, un hearting riddles buried deep in the Bible -until he finds the secret is said to have animated the world for thousand years, a secret on which the fate of humanity may depend. But with more murders by the hour, and each clue wrapped in layers of code, time is running out...
