In the Name of Ishmael
About this audiobook
Politics, terror, and spellbinding literary gamesmanship are at the heart of this daring fiction debut.
Set in fogbound, wintry Milan, In the Name of Ishmael is the story of a secret cult of assassins and the two detectives who set out to reveal the true identity of Ishmael, the group's heavily protected and enigmatic leader.
Expertly weaving a story from apparently unmatched threads in two separate time periods—mysterious murders, a series of seemingly unconnected assassinations, the accident that killed Princess Diana, a bizarre sadomasochistic secret society, and the death of an Italian press magnate—Genna crafts a chilling and utterly compelling tale of political conspiracy and serial murder.
