Dimiter

An American spy is on the run in this international tale of murder, revenge, and suspense from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Exorcist. "Gripping and intelligent, Dimiter is part detective story and part religious thriller in the grand tradition of The Name of the Rose." —Allan Folsom, New York Times–bestselling author Albania, 1973: A prisoner suspected of being an enemy agent is held by state security. Though subjected to unimaginable torture, he maintains an eerie silence. Against all possible odds he escapes—and on the way to freedom, completes a mysterious mission. The prisoner is Dimiter, the American "agent from Hell." Jerusalem, 1974: Police detective Peter Meral, neurologist Dr. Moses Mayo, and nurse Samia Maroon become enmeshed in a series of baffling events—a patient dies without cause at Hadassah Hospital, a body is discovered in the Tomb of Christ, and a child is miraculously cured of cancer. Who's at the center of these events? And how does Dimiter, unseen since his uncanny escape from Albania, play into them? Master storyteller William Peter Blatty keeps you on the edge of your seat until events explode in a surprising climax. Told with unrelenting pace, Dimiter is haunted by the search for faith and the truths of the human condition. "Enfolds a message of faith in a fast-paced thriller." —Los Angeles Times "A beautifully written, haunting tale of vengeance, spiritual searching, loss, and love." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
