Stephen Friedman is just inches away from everything he could ever desire. It's Los Angeles in the early 70s, and Friedman is living the groovy southern California life of a real-estate wheeler dealer. He's making money hand-over-fist and has long given up hope of finding the family he's lost in worn-torn Poland.

But when a deceased woman's papers reveal that she possessed a priceless religious relic, and that she may have been his mother, Stephen becomes hungry for answers. A hunger that may kill him.

Ted Dekker writes wonderful books! I Listened the whole way through and was interested in this story. However, I had a hard time with it only because his other books (Three and the Red/White/Black trilogy) were so much better. He has a great life theme that I really enjoy.

Good, but his others are better.

Wow. Quite a story. I listened to it straight through. I didn't want to take a break.
A good story and narration was perfect.

Interesting concept

I am a huge fan of this author but this one seem to just drag on and on and on. There were parts that I had to simply fast forward through he sort of went down the rabbit hole too much. That’s just my opinion though. Still I have bought every book he has written. He’s awesome.

Not my favorite

Very unrelentingly high-strung thriller, I liked it a lot. Makes an interesting point about obsession, which seems like a bad thing, until you finish this. Interesting points on faith and evil. Consistently pulls back from magical/spooky stuff (though the evil is scary haunting). Reader was good, easy to understand (but, obviously not from LA, or he'd know how to pronounce "Brea"). Recommend if you like contrast between black & white, and can stand a constant sense of impending disaster and hopeless situations. If you haven't read the Red/Black/White triolgy of Ted Dekker's, you should. This is not quite that level, but it's pretty darn good.

Taut thriller

What works? Dekker's use of Nazi Germany and present day and his ability to tie them together into a moderately interesting mystery.

What doesn't work? Drawing out the ending to an almost painful extent. And the scene in the car I honestly got confused.

All in all not the best Dekker book I've read, but not the worst Dekker book I've read either.

Not bad

one of the best Dekker novels I have read. Easy to read with a comfortable amount of history woven into the plot.

Great read.

Like all of Ted Dekker's books, you who choose to read them, come away with awe. His books are spirit directed Godly to their core. Sit and be awed, be renewed. Thank-you.

This book got my attention from the get-go. There was a good bit of action and mystery, though I was able to unravel much of the plot on my own. While there had been much detail and development of characters, midway through, the story began to move quickly, and I felt rushed.
Overall, this book was enjoyable, and I looked forward to hearing it over the course of several evenings. However, I would have enjoyed it more if certain characters and events had been given more time to develop.

What a wonderful book of friendship and love, wrapped in current times and World War 2, about finding your family and recognizing the one you already have. All the while remembering, we live for those who came before us.

Great Book
