Residue

A gripping suspense thriller from the critically acclaimed novelist Warren Adler, well-known for the iconic novel turned international box-office hit "The War of the Roses." The firebombing of a black church, a former synagogue in Brooklyn, sets off a deadly chain reaction of international intrigue and bloody violence. The attackers are young Arab men. They mistakenly believe that this church—whose stained-glass windows illustrate the Stars of David—is still a synagogue. In the wake of the bombing, a white-shoe Wall Street firm sends its young, token Jewish lawyer to help the church pro bono in their insurance claim. However, this charity case takes a sharp turn when the church pastor finds three massive trunks filled with gold and precious jewels worth multimillions in the damaged basement. The origin of the treasure is puzzling. Its presence in the basement of a black church is even more bizarre. It produces a ripple effect, drawing in people from all walks of life and faith who would stop at nothing to get a hold of the riches. A suspenseful story of terror and greed, Residue illustrates how the long tail of the past can reach into the present with life-altering results.
