Book description
THE REDEMPTION opens in the world's most oppressive and isolated
totalitarian state: Albania in the 1970s. A prisoner suspected of being
an enemy agent is held by state security. An unsettling presence, he
maintains an eerie silence though subjected to unimaginable torture. He
escapes - and on the way to freedom, completes a mysterious mission. The
prisoner is Dimiter, the American 'agent from Hell'. The scene shifts to
Jerusalem, focusing on Hadassah Hospital and a cast of unusual
characters. All become enmeshed in a series of baffling, inexplicable
deaths, until events explode in a surprising climax. Told with
unrelenting pace, THE REDEMPTION's compelling, page-turning narrative is
haunted by the search for faith and the truths of the human condition.
William Peter Blatty, the writer of numerous novels and screenplays, is
best known for his mega-bestselling novel THE EXORCIST. Blatty lives
with his wife and a son in Maryland.
