Rendition In Pursuance Of 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.

Appraise Out Of Books The Last Good Man (Niels Bentzon #1)

I spent a lot of the book thinking I already knew what was going on based on the explanation at the beginning of the book and the description of the death in China. It was annoying the characters didn't know what I did and it felt like a big waste of time for them to investigate. I mean probably 8 of the 12 CDs were pretty much useless and at times boring. There was so much unnecessary stuff about random people that did nothing for the plot of the story. Maybe it's a foreign language thing,

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

I enjoyed this book - the mathematical and religious elements made it Dan Brown-esque, but heaps less predictable. A touch of Scandinavian darkness helped make the characters more interesting, and I wanted to get back to it frequently to see what happened next. Pacing in the last 3rd of the book could have been better, but it's worth the read.

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

*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.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book.The premise hooked me.I appreciated the balance given to the characters.The little history and religious lessons were nice.The math got a little problematic for me, but I enjoyed the European point of view.But the ending was anticlimactic.And these fellas are not Dan Brown...yet.J

Full disclosure about this review: Scribner offered me an ARC in exchange for this write up, and being the cheap and shameless person I am, I accepted it in the hopes of opening a pipeline of free books. The problem is that Ive only got about three stars worth of love for this, and I dont know if thats good enough to convince them to send me more. So if anyone from Scribners asks, I gave it an enthusiastic five stars. Shhhh. Itll be our little secret.This starts with a pretty intriguing premise.
